We had a few days to relax and recover after Katelyn’s wedding. Then it was time to ramp up for Katie’s. The very next weekend we had not one but two showers for the girl! The first was at Pam’s house for all the Pivec ladies. It took place in the afternoon of a lovely mid July day. The food was good, the company grand and the games were actually fun. The point of one of them was to make up as funny a story about how Adam and Katie got engaged as possible. Kelly won the prize for best tale. Katie got lots of nice gifts and half way through the party someone pointed out that they were all entertainment (drinking) related. Katie predicted that at the Hubbell shower, all the gifts would be kitchen (eating) related.
The very next day was the Hubbell ladies shower. It was at my sister Katie’s house. The magnificent Meg was in charge of dessert and her cupcakes were not merely delicious, they were gorgeous! That girl could wage quite a battle on Cupcake Wars. As expected, the gifts were all food related. It was another beautiful, sunny day. The party actually took place out on the deck. In addition to all the Hubbell gals, from Grandma Punkin down to Bananas and Punkin were several of Katie’s friends. Her three oldest, bestest friends were there, of course. There were also a couple of law school friends. One of them pulled Katie aside at one point.
“Are all these girls your cousins and aunts?” she asked.
“Yes.” Katie pointed out the four who weren’t. “The rest are cousins.”
“Your family is…so attractive!” her friend said.
And she hasn’t even seen the boys!
After the party, we cleaned up and then Katie, MJ and I walked around the lake. I was wearing semi fancy clothes so I borrowed some safety pins, pinned up my pant legs and walked barefoot. It was great! I did have to wash everything afterwards, by hand. I don’t mind. It’s not like I’m going to wear this stuff every weekend.
Now that the showers are over, it’s time to buckle down and get the wedding stuff taken care of.
