Raining Gifts

Katie's Bridal Shower!

The day was finally upon us.

Seemed like we had been planning for months.

Oh yeah, we sure had been.

The guest list was made, the invitations sent out and the goodies created.

Wow, were there some goodies there.

I'm not just talking about delicious, melt in your mouth cupcakes from Newbury street, or fabulous tea-pot shaped cookies, or homemade chocolate dipped spoons.

No, those were the edible goodies.

Let's talk about the GIFT goodies.

KATIE & BRIAN SHALL NEVER HAVE TO KITCHEN SHOP AGAIN!

Katie is one lucky girl.  

So many gifts.  SO many smiles.  So many great family and friends.

Everyone looked adorable on a sunny (but cool) Spring day in May.

This is one damn fine looking wedding party if you ask me!

Although I won the "Who Know's the Bride the Best" game (scoring 29 correct points!) I couldn't take a prize.  

That's not incredibly fair.

And I try to play by the rules.

Who am I kidding, I hate rules.

But let's give much deserved credit to Laura Kubica and Alicia O'Brien for coming in first and second place.

I suppose it seems pretty fitting that her best friend and cousin would win.

And let's also Katie is gaining some pretty awesome cousins from the McNamara side!  

These girls are so sweet.

Mom and Mother-in-law to be

And the Dad and Dad-to-be showed up, too.

To carry the gifts of course.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Katie's Bridal Shower.

And a special thank you to Brian for cooking all their future meals.
