Christi's Creative Crew: Celebrating Jessica

Last Saturday was Jessica's birthday, but we weren't able to celebrate due to the craft sale Sue and I were involved in on Saturday - which was a HUGE hit BTW - until tonight. She picked out her menu of lasagne, garlic bread, salad - and Jeff is making a blueberry cheesecake - YUMMO! So I thought I would share some pictures of Jessica's bridal shower from last weekend.

This is Jessica with her two Mom's!!

And here she is with her little sister, Bonnie, and her mom, Ruth.

Even the youngest young ladies were invited to join us. This is Gracie (who is THRILLED to be getting Jessica as her auntie) and Sylvia.

This is the cake that I made -even though we used it more as a centerpiece. My sisters did a great job preparing salads and desserts for everyone to enjoy.

A great stash of gifts for Jeff and Jessica starting out their life together.

The first gift opened and most interesting gift was from cousin Sara Jo, who lives in Nova Scotia, who sent this "Smitten Mitten" for Jeff and Jess. It consists of two single gloves and then one "pouch" with two openings. You each put a hand in an opening and then you can hold hands while still keeping your hands warm. My sisters, Vicky and Lynette, modeled it for everyone and we all got a huge laugh. When Jeff came at the very end Jess couldn't wait to show it to him. He declared "I'm liking this!" It will be perfect for all their walks on cool days.
