we had a shower today!

 

Kiely had her first wedding shower today :)

The "Ladies Lunch Group" gave her the shower.

What a great group of women!

They all work at Roache together.

Erica held it at her mother Kathy's beautiful home.

It was so kind of her mother to open up her home!

They are two very sweet people.

The decorations were so cute.

This banner was made by Katie...she just had a baby

(who's picture I sadly did not take)

two months ago and she made this before Reese was born.

And they had some engagement pictures made and framed.

The frames were given to Kiely by Erica's mom.

The food was sooooo good!!!

Fresh fruits, egg casserole, and lots of yummy

sweets...french toast, coffee cake, cookies and dipped strawberries!

Speaking of sweet, Alan's mom came down for the weekend

for dress shopping yesterday and the shower today.

It was so nice getting to know her!

And Grandma!

Kiely's friend Sinead and her beautiful daughter Sidney.

She was shy but she loved Killer...

who was the sweetest dog!

And Gayle...who is getting married on the beach

on Hilton Head in just weeks! 

Two very pretty brides-to-be!!

Soon it was time to open gifts!

The Ladies Lunch Group got Alan and Kiely a...

food processor!

Next was my gift to them...

a ceramic food warmer.

I had another gift that I ordered to go along with this

but it didn't come in the

mail in time :(

Grandma got her the Tri Kappa cookbook

Mincemeat and Memories

(EXCELLENT cookbook)

and a Pottery Barn "Ball" jar drink dispenser.

Kiely is doing ball jars on her tables at the reception

so this brought a big smile to her face!

Phyllis got her new daughter-in-law to be and son

a new coffee maker!

Kiely said that Alan was hoping that someone would get that gift today!

See...Mom's know best ;)

Sineade got her a lazy susan swirl server...love it!

Gayle and her soon to be husband

(whom is standing up with Alan)

got her...

a beautiful decanter!

Thank you ladies for such a lovely afternoon!

I can see why Kiely enjoys being around you all...what a sweet bunch of ladies!

The next shower will be given by

me and my mom's best friend Jane, June 9!!
