Ashlee's Wedding shower #1

Yesterday marked the begging of Ashlee's wedding parties and showers. We spent the day yesterday in Fort Worth at my Aunts house for Ashlee's lingerie shower.  Most of the women in my family were there, most of the brides maids and a few friends. We ate and played games and I think we all had a lot of fun.  After the shower the "younger" girls at the party went to Joe-T Garcia's for dinner. YUM!
Next week is her shower at G.O. then, the week after that, her and my mom are flying to California for a shower from Michael's family. Really fun and exciting things are going on right now in the land of weddings!
Maddie is a flower girl in Ashlee's AND Rachel and Corey's wedding (which is 3 weeks after the baby is born in San Antonio) So she has also been consumed with wedding talk. We are wanting her to be really excited about being a flower girl, so she wont freak out on the day she's supposed to walk down the isle. She has asked me many times if she can marry me, or daddy. Then I explain that girls marry boys, and that mommy is already married to daddy, and so on. I tell her she will find a nice boy to marry one day, then she will ask me "were? At tiny tots?. One night Maddie was talking to Rachel about marrying Corey and being a flower girl for her wedding. This is how it went:
Rachel: "Maddie, are you excited about throwing flowers at my wedding?"
Maddie: :"Ummm, how about YOU throw the flowers, and I marry Corey?" She is such a smart little stinker. We died laughing after Rachel re-told the story to us.
Trying to explain the concept of marriage to a 4 year old is quite difficult. I'm hopping that after this year is over she will forget about the subject for a while. 

The table. We had lots of yummy goodies to eat.

One of her friends makes and sales cake balls, so she made this for Ashlee. 

We played the "dress a bride in toilet paper" game. This was really funny. 



Ashlee also received lots of fun presents. Thanks to everyone who came and participated!
