Aunt Bridget's Bridal Shower

Mommy and Felicity all ready to get this party started.

This is going to seem like a lot of pictures, but it's just a fraction of what we took of Beautiful Aunt Bridget's Bridal Shower. The theme was black and gold - Purdue colors for the couple of honor who met and fell in love at Purdue!

We made tailgating food because that seems appropriate for the Purdue theme. Pulled pork, potato and pasta salads, fruit kabobs, veggie tray, and....

...dessert! Best part of every meal! Bridget's favorite is anything that tastes like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup so we made sure that was included in the options!

Shout out time: To Tim, the superdad, who dropped everything all weekend to take care of our girls so Mommy could help get ready for the shower! He's simply the best. Better than all the rest.

The boys stuck around for, let's say, an entire minute before making a run for it to the nearest microbrewery. That's no exaggeration.

It's a good thing they left when they did because it got very girly very quickly.

Bridget and her college friends!

If the pictures are an indication, Felicity was especially spoiled. She ate so much chocolate and everyone wanted to hold her - she probably thought this party was for her. Or those are the perks of being Aunt Bridget's goddaughter.

It really was a good moment for Bridget to know how loved she is as she was surrounded by family and friends who CANNOT wait for her wedding!

Bridget and the Bol Women - soon she will official be one of them!

 Both of Bridget's grandmas were able to be there which was so special for her!

And then it was gift opening. Felicity immediately ran for her chair and pushed it up next to Aunt Bridget. She REALLY did believe this was HER party!

The sisters were quick to follow!

Just a few more months and she'll be a Mrs! So happy for Bridget and Ryan. They were absolutely made for each other. When they are together, they can relax and be themselves (goofy and silly and nuts). They complement each other so well and love to take care of each other. It's going to be a lovely day in July!
