Ashlie's Shower

The Beautiful Bride

My little sister Ashlie is getting married on April 18, so Shannon, Amy and I had a shower for her.

I had such a fun time planning this shower. We had a daisy "Loves Me, Loves Me Not" theme so we had Daisy necklaces for the "Don't Say Cute" game and I made daisy ice cubes for the punch. For the favors, we got nail files shaped as daisy petals that say "He Loves Me" or "He Loves Me Not" on them.

We had a great turnout for Ashlie and she got a lot of fun gifts. We had a lunch andplayed one game and opened presents. it was a fun afternoon!

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Brandon & Ashlie!!!

Lexi at the shower - Earlier in the week when I was cleaning the house, I told her it was for Ashlie's shower. She wanted to know if Ashlie was going to shower in her bathroom or my bathroom!!! Halle was tired from the shower preparation, but she made sure that she matched the theme. She had a daisy bow in her hair, but I think Aunt Shannon took it out (She doesn't approve of the bows)!

Halle's Special Day

On March 1st, Halle was blessed at church. We had such a special day and Ryan did such a great job on her blessing. It was beautiful!

We are so fortunate to have so much family and support. Halle had three great grandpa's, four grandpa's and two uncles help bless her. There is so much love surrounding our little girl.

Grandma Jil helped me pick out Halle's dress. I was worried at first that her dress wasn't all white, but in the end, I loved the pink ribbons in it. I had also bought her darling white shoes with pink ribbons, but they were way too big, so Halle wore the same shoes Lexi wore when she was blessed.

Since our house isn't very big, we didn't think we could do dinner for thirty people, so we decided to have a nice dinner at Mark Anthony's restaurant. Our neighbor's own this and they did such a great job for us.

It was such a beautiful day for our little family. Thank you to everyone who was able to share it with us!

This is one of the few pictures I have of Lexi and Halle, where Halle isn't screaming. Usually she isn't too fond of the way Lexi holds her!!
