SHOWERS!

Wedding showers are so much fun! We have been so lucky to have 3 showers over the last few weeks. We have gotten so many great gifts and we are so grateful to our friends and family for all they have done for us!

Shower #1.... AMMIES HOUSE

Ammie (my grandma) was so nice to give us a shower. I think we invited 40 people and 39 came. How great! We were seriously spoiled. I wish I would have taken a picture of our kitchen after we loaded everything in, it was full! Jordan couldn't believe all the things we received. This shower was a "FIRSTS" shower.... meaning everyone had a first theme like first cleaning day, first baking day, first halloween..... loved it!

I didn't take one picture with Ammie at the shower

at her house so this will do! She really is the

best!! She is doing so much for my wedding and I really

really love her even more for it!

One of our many presents!

I loved this shower, we got such a variety of fun things!

Thanks to everyone that came.

Miss her. I am so glad she got to

come to at least one shower!

Jordan came towards the end

to help load all the stuff home.

Shower #2.... ELAINE'S House

Elaine (Jordan's Aunt) opened up her house to the Bowden/Russell side! First of all she made the BEST homemade cafe rio salads ever! mmm!! Thanks to Laurie for the yummy pork and Kay for the delicious black beans. And to Jennie who made super good cake! This shower didn't have a theme, however we still got loads of great things to feel our empty house.

my mom, me and ammie..

Angie made this cute card, she is the

THANKS AGAIN!!

Shower #3..... AMY'S HOUSE

My BFF Amy hosted my friends shower. We first met up at Olive Garden for some dinner, so good. I loved that we met up here with some of the girls who could make it! After OG we went back to Amy's and had treats that were tasty and so so cute. Amy had her house all decorated, I loved it! Thanks to all the girls for coming. We won't talk about the presents we got... oh who I love my friends!!

Thanks Aim. I really appreiciate such a fun shower!

I am so glad that we have stayed friends for so long.

love you.

Girls at OG! So fun!

A few of us waiting for the rest to arrive.

A few of the cutest decorations... I took other pictures of

the decor but can't seem to find them. Wendy made really really cute

labels for the carmel corn (if you look close you can kinda see it

behind the cupcakes) Amy hung some lingerie from a sting with clothes

pins it was so cute, what a great idea!

Some pics of some of the girls. I am

so glad that I have such great friends. Thanks to

everyone for coming it really meant a lot! Thanks

again to Amy for such a cute, fun shower!

WOW! We got so many wonderful things. I am so lucky to have such a great family in-laws and friends! Thanks to everyone that came and supported us in this special time, it means the world to us.. love you all!
