Nicole's Bridal Shower!

We were so excited to make the trip up to Santa Maria to celebrate Nicole's quickly approaching wedding to Phillip!  We love them, and honestly can't wait to officially welcome Phillip to the family.  We had a great time toasting Nicole & Phillip with family and friends. 

We had lots of delicious food- including delicious cheese, bread, and meat trays,

SO much wine, but we played a fun guess the varietal game which was very fun!

And a DELICIOUS cake, which matched our "Pots and Panties" theme perfectly!

Nicole had a great time celebrating with her friends and family.

Catherine showed incredible willpower, opting to pour the wine for our wine tasting game.  It was really fun game, we covered the bottles with paper bags, then had everyone taste 8 wines and guess the varietal. 

Ronni and Cyndi enjoyed the game, and Ronni walked away the champion! 

Then it was time for presents!  Nicole's "nieces" were excellent helpers.  We had to rein Keira in, she would have ripped open every present without hesitation

Besides being an excellent wine server, Catherine showed an exceptional ability to make a bow bouquet.  Who knew she was so multi-talented?

As it turns out, Keira was a little less than excited about the kitchen items and pajamas inside the presents.  Where are the toys?

I love this little girl.

It was a stormy, rainy day, and Sonya and Christina decided to go for a little playtime run in the rain- crazy girls.

Naturally, Tyler got in lots of snuggle time with his family- I knew I wouldn't need to bring any seats for him.  We had plenty of willing volunteers to hold the little guy!

Especially with both Grandmas there, he was being snuggled all day!

 

Congratulations Nicole, Jamaica can't get here quickly enough!
