Pre-Wedding parties

We are really behind on our posts. We have tons of stuff to post about camping trips from earlier this summer and a host of other things that happened this summer. But we will get to that... probably by the first snowfall. So we are going to go back in time a little bit here.

Annie was showered with gifts and parties before the nuptials. Here is a recap.


This picture is a little grainy, but it shows Annie at her shower thrown by her coworkers. It was a REALLY nice shower!


Gorgeous cake!

Wonderful gifts!

The we had a little get-together at Annie's house. This was earlier in the night. We drank pomegranate margarita's and ate food by the firepit until the wee hours.
What a fun summer night! P.S. Our fire-making skills were honed, but it still took us a LOOOONG time to get it going without the aid of gasoline or the like.

Kayce is sampling the food below. She brought the most amazing hot wing chip dip. YUM!

Some of Annie's former coworkers and her former boss, the fabulous Cindy Guthrie, hosted another shower for her. It was a garden-themed party. It, too, was awesome! I don't have any pictures to share of that.

Then we had our traditional Klima shower at Aunt Rodie's house. She is a fantastic hostess! Check out her place-settings. P.S. each napkin ring was an actual diamond ring from Rodie's collection. Of course they were real dahling. Puuuhhleaaaze!

Here is Annie opening the gifts from all of us.

Aunt Rodie always made us four girls a Barbie cake for each of our birthdays. For this occasion, Barbie became a bride!

She had pearls on her voluptuous skirt, rock and roll hair, and a very risque, lattice bodice.

So that is a recap of the pre-wedding parties! We had a blast!!!!!!!!
