Wedding Shower and Friends

Saturday Vince’s sweet church gave us a wedding shower. Vince was a great sport, besides his cousin’s 2 year old he was the only male there.

I can’t say enough, how good the food was! I asked how to make one of the little sandwiches, but of course I don’t remember how to make them. And there were little sausage cheese bites! They were great and now I really want some.

The point of this post was not about the food but how grateful I am for those sweet people and my sweet friends and yes the gifts we received. I actually don’t really like receiving gifts, but these gifts I loved.

Months ago when I made my wedding registry I registered for 12 dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and 16 glasses, along with other kitchen stuff. I love having friends over and feeding them, but I had 6 dinner plates and 2 bowls, it made feeding 5-7 adults and 2 kids kinda hard.

So back to the point, two of my dearest friends came to the shower. One had to leave her husband and two boys at home, so after the shower I invited them all back to the house for burgers. It was so nice that there were enough plates and glasses to go around!!! And some other wedding gifts got put to good use to make the homemade hamburger buns.

Yes I got distracted and kinda burned the fries...

I should note that at this point there were 5 adults, 2 kids, and 5 dogs running around! (I’m dog sitting my mother’s 3 dogs) There was lots of noise, laughter, and a couple reprimands, but I loved it. Maybe I’m crazy but as long as it’s loving, happy chaos, I love it!

In case I didn’t already know, Saturday confirmed how blessed and lucky I am to have the loved ones I have. And I am so thankful for all the gifts we received, especially those that we get to share with our loved ones!
