Norrine's Bridal Shower...

My mom and sister hosted a shower today for a friend of our family's. My sister has been friends with Norrine since we moved to Muscatine when she was in 7th grade and my mom became friends with Norrines mom, Cindy at the same time. Our familys hung out together all the time and have had many great times together.

Norrine is getting married in Florida in December and unfortunately we will not be able to attend the wedding, so my mom and sister wanted the shower to be extra special.

It was gorgeous.

Such a happy occassion, lots of laughs, chatting and tears (happy tears of course!).

The cake was adorable!!!

The mermaid on top...






It was definitely a hit!




The decor was beautiful with the under the sea/mermaid theme down to every detail...










My mom even drew and cut out these mermaid sillouettes to hang above the windows!




The spread was even beautiful...and yummy!



My mom and the bride...




Soon to be Sisters-in-law, Betsy and Norrine are BOTH planning their upcoming weddings (Betsy will be marrying Norrine's brother next October)!




My mom, Norrine and my sister...




We chatted and drank sangria while Norrine opened gifts, then we chatted some more. What a fun, relaxing afternoon it was!
