September Showers???

Miss Laycee is a great friend and blessing to our family as she babysits the boys whenever we need her - and, she actually enjoys playing with 3 boys under the age of 9! So, when she asked our entire family to be in her wedding, how could we say no? So, as Matron of Honor, my first responsibility was to throw her a fabulous bridal shower - all with her "black, white with a touch of canary" color scheme!

So, with that in mind the decorations for this fall outdoorsy shower was easy - beautiful yellow mums!
With yummy black, white and yellow gumballs in a vase - too easy!
And an even more yummy Peggy Brown cake!
And even more yummy Peggy Brown musical note cookies! (Laycee's fiance is the music director at a church and LOVES to play the piano, so music notes was an easy choice!)
Here is the bride-to-be with her soon to be step daughter, Maya!
The shower was held at one of Laycee's church member's houses. We initially had the party outside, but then the bugs were SO bad we quickly moved indoors. Good thing there were so many great friends there to help us out! Here, Ms. Heather unknots some of the balloons!
Laycee's sister, LaToya, the maid of honor planned some fun games! Here, my great friend Angie, is getting dressed up in her own bridal gown - made of toilet paper!
The games got a bit more intense with the purse game! Laycee called out items that the guests had to find in their purse to earn points! The first person to stand up with wanted item earned a point! Here two players jumped into the air, holding kleenex!
Of course the main reason for a shower to for the bride to get some great presents! Here Laycee is opening one of many gifts - her canister set!
After such a great shower, I can't wait for the coming events - the bachelorette party and wedding itself! Stay tuned!
