Nichole's bridal shower

Saturday at 2pm we had a bridal shower for Nichole. The theme was vintage.

Andrea and my mom had made a lot of sweets! And they had a lot of candy. It was really cool, it looked like a candy shop.

See? A lot of sweets! Everything was so yummy ~ it was hard to stop eating, hahaha. My favorite sweet was the fruit tart. Soooo good.

Sugar, oranges, and lemons for tea.

Tea straws.

So here are the decorations.

This shows the prices for living and food in 1923.

There's the future bride.

Me and Cheree.................and Ashley o_o

Andrea read to us a wife guide book from older times.

It was pretty funny. I mean it had some good stuff in it, but then they went too far and made it sound like the wife has to be a robot and only please her husband, and he doesn't have to have any appreciation for her. So there were a lot of jokes made while she read it, and we laughed a lot.

This is our favorite picture from the book.

Shannon copied the picture.

After Andrea read that guide book, we played some games.

The first one was Mad Libs, wedding style. They were so funny!

It might be hard to hear, but this is what I got from the Mad Libs. I didn't want anyone to know I was filming cause no one likes cameras, psh. So I just held it on my lap and didn't even know what I was filming for the most part.

Then we played a game called "What Was She Thinking?" and there are questions you have to fill out and choices you can pick for the answer. Each choice is a song title.

The questions were about what Nichole was thinking in situations she had with Jason.

But we had to guess what we thought Nichole would answer. So Nichole answered, and then at the end Andrea would read off the answers that Nichole wrote, and we had to check off any we got right. Whoever got the most won a prize.

I think Ashley won.

Then we played a game where you had to match things together. They're like wedding myths an stuff. I only got 2 right, lol. I even wrote "2 points YEAH =D " on my paper.

And I drew on the picture of the bride and groom. I gave them faces.

Every new game Andrea would introduce, I would say, "I don't know any of the answers." Then for the last game I was going to say it, but Sis. Michele was like, "Catie doesn't know any of the answers." and laughed. She thought it was funny I kept saying that. It's true though, I don't know anything about weddings lol.

For the last game Andrea asked Nichole questions about Jason, and she had to try to get the same answer that he chose. She did pretty good and got a lot right.

Then she opened presents (which I didn't get pics of)

And then before everyone left we got a group picture, and one of each of us with Nichole.

Campfire cookout

On Friday me, Matt, and Ben got invited to Sis. Michele's and Cheree's for a campfire cookout. Aaron, Shannon, and Logan were there too.

We got there around 6:30pm, and sat in the living room and talked for a while. They were talking about stub guards. You know when you stub your toe and it hurts really really bad? Well they said it'd be nice to have guards for your toes so you don't stub them. Cause Aaron had stubbed his toes in steel toe boots at work lol. Cheree was like, "how do you stub your toe in steel toe boots?" and Aaron was like, "have you ever stubbed your toes in steel toe boots? It's even worse than normal cause it's steel! It's like stubbing all toes at once, so it's 5 times worse."

And then we talked about Mexican food. Then we talked about phones, cause Matt was showing everyone his new iPhone, and Shannon said when she used to work, her boss had a fart app on his phone, and whenever someone came close to the phone, it would fart lol.

Then we went in the backyard on the patio to cook some hotdogs.

Here are some pics from my phone. The quality is super bad, but I forgot to bring my camera.

Cooking hotdogs. Ben was cooking mine cause we didn't have enough of those cooker things, and his had 2 spots to put hotdogs. So I got to sit back and relax on the swing =D

We also had s'mores. YUM. Or as Cheree calls them, sh'moes.

All the smoke kept going to Ben! I guess he's the most beautiful, cause you know, smoke follows beauty.

Lol, he's cowering away from the smoke.

Matt's using his shirt as a mask to keep the smoke away.

Sis. Michele holding Logan.

Me and Ben kept watching airplanes in the sky, and saying, "it's a ufo." And we started waving our arms and said, "take me away!" like those weirdo people you see on movies.

After a while we went inside, cause people were getting mosquito bites.

Sis. Michele was vacuuming up bugs. She kept going after this fly.

And there's a ghostly Matt.

Ben playing a game on Matt's iPhone, Matt watching, and Cheree on her iPod.

The rest of the night we kind of just played on our phones, and Aaron, Shannon, and Sis. Michele were in the other room having their own conversation.

Matt found the fart app on his iPhone and kept playing with it. It sounds so real. He made the fart go off as he sat down, haha.

Shannon, Sis. Michele, and Aaron could hear it in the other room, and they were laughing.

I took a picture of us with the negative coloring effect.

Don't we look lovely? =D

Around 11pm we left to go home. But Cheree showed me her nail polish drawer first. She wasn't kidding when she told me she had a lot. Her drawer is almost full with them! And she gave me some blue nail polish as part of my birthday gift =) the color reminds me of Coraline's, I like it ~
