A Bridal Shower for Marci

So, Marci's shower was Sunday at her parents' house. They have the very best yard. It's three or so acres, bordered by lush woods and landscaped impeccably. And it's especially beautiful when it's framing a young glowing mommy/bride-to-be and her gorgeous little lambchop. (mush, mush, gag, gag, barf — I know! But aren't they just too SMOOSHY CUTE to handle?)

Marci's mom, Georgann, has the greenest thumb around, and she grew the flowers that became the centerpieces on the tables. Stunning.

Aunt M and I put together most of the food, which was very simple, but delicious nonetheless.

And boy-ola! There were mountains upon mountains of gifts for one little gal to open. So Marci helped La a little with the task. I think I need to try this "marriage" thing just on account of the MOUNTAINS of gifts you receive. Now, about the whole "finding a husband" concept ...

*crickets*

Maybe I'll just start registering at Crate and Barrel for a "Yippee! I'm Single Without Prospects So Buy Me New Stuff!" shower. Aunt M and I could even register TOGETHER. Novel concept! We'll go ahead and give the people of the world another reason to think we're lesbian lovers who have a little blonde love child together. (Seriously, people actually think that. It's really hurting our game.)

Back to Marci! And Scott! Man, did they score. Giftwise, I mean.

And I got to play with the cutest baby in the world. So, I scored too.

I love how Clayton and Jackie are making the exact same face in this pic. Priceless:

It was such a pleasure to spend time with Marci and her family over the weekend. Simply delightful.

I can't wait for the wedding. (in one week! holy cow!)
