Shower of the year.
Today Liam and I went over to Jen’s to help with Aaron’s cousin, Chelsea’s, wedding shower. It was a gala event with something like seven hostesses.
I made 50+ cookies as my part of the hostess duty. Naturally, I forgot to take my camera to the event, so here are the pics that I took before they were so beautifully staged on plates at the shower.
Chels likes pink and she likes pigs, so that was the theme.
I have no idea how many people attended because I was busy trying to keep Liam and Gabe occupied. Thank goodness for the toys and Ashley and Alli. The two of them played with the kids for at least an hour and I actually got to watch Chels open a few of her million and a half gifts. (She’s a well-liked girl, that Chels.)
Because I was so busy thinking about the cookies, I forgot to go and get her an actual gift. So, I got online and ordered a gift certificate from BB&B and then baked one more cookie.
I kept screwing up the icing on the gift certificate, so I tried to cover it up with more icing. It got really thick and scary. But I didn’t have time to bake anymore this morning, so on it went.
Anyway, I thought it was funny.
I attached it to a cake board with icing and the “Johnson 182″ cookies I’d made earlier. (Chels’ favorite band is Blink182 and she’s marrying a boy with the last name of Johnson, which is also her last name, so it works.)
The shower lasted from 10 to about 1.30. I think that Chels was pleased with everything. She got a ton of good stuff and it took 20 minutes to carry it all out to the car.
