Counting The Days!

Yesterday morning was Alli's last bridal shower. It took place at Valley Lutheran High School on Greenhill in the music room, and close friends and family were present. Nate was also able to make it for the first half. :)

Nate telling the story of how he surprised Alli with his proposal. :)

Sharing a laugh. :)

After introducing the to-be bride and groom, we went on to games. There were four contests, held with the moms (Sharon, me and Alli's mom, and Shelly, Nate's mom) against Alli and Nate.

Contest 1: Dusting. - Each team must spray a cleaning rag with Orange Cleaning spray and dust each object thoroughly.


Contest 2: Folding Laundry - Each team must fold the assorted laundry in their basket. Laundry must be neat and sorted.

Here, Allison is defending her right to first place by showing off how she has put her past retailing skills to good use in this contest. :P

Contest 3: Folding sheets - Each team must end up with a complete set. Here, Mom and Alli fight over a sheet to complete their set. :D

Shelly: "DONE!!!"

Contest 4: Make a sack lunch - each team must prepare and pack a sack lunch. Each bag must contain 12 pringle chips, carrot sticks, apple slices, and a PB&J sandwich.

Judges Sarah Doering and Aunt Kay keep eyes out as onlookers crane their heads.


Aunt Diana inspecting Nate and Allison's sandwich...it looks like it got sat on.

Comparing. Moms' look yummy!

Contest 5: Cleaning windows. All four panes must be cleaned with orange clean spray. No streaks!
The happy winners!

Aunt Carol sharing some words of advice paired with Bible verses.

Shelly shares some words of advice as well. Then dedicates a song to them that she plays on her laptop that portrays her hopes.


Unity.A group prayer.
