My Tea Party Shower was this past weekend.. and it was amazing! It was absolutely the girliest thing EVER and I absolutely adored it. It was hosted by Roxanne, her daughter Alissa, her future daughter-in-law, Kourney, and her mother-in-law Wilona. Roxanne is married to Darrell, who is my dad's best friend and has been since they were in 5th grade. Darrell and Roxanne Dysone are also one of my 2 sets of god-parents.
The Dysons turned their living room, normally red, into the girliest mixtures of blues and greens. Pictures of Ed and I sat on every table. They set
up round tables everywhere with china, tea pots, and tea cups that had tea packets sitting next to them. The tea packet, 
"The Perfect Blend," had mine and Ed's names on it as well as ou wedding date :) They gave me a box to take home with me- Ed said that as soon as I startr drinking one I'm going to want to cuddle and watch Enchanted. He's right :)They completely went all out on the food, with so many types of sandwiches and fruit, and dessert! Chocolate cake, petits fours, and smaller April-size chocolate cakes! It was absolutely delicious. We all ate our yummy food and drank SO MANY types of teas, it was so much fun.
Gift time was fun too ;) Everyone was given a Bingo card to fill in with the gifts they thought I would get. Carra's mom won a bingo as did Ed's grandma, and took home flower arrangements.
I came away with more stuff than I knew what to do with! I didn't want to haul it all to Austin and then just move it again, so most of it went into storage. I brought a few things back :)
And guess who decided to surprise me!?! Carra!!! She called her mom on Thursday to tell her that she wanted to surprise me by coming in on Saturday. It was so great of her. She also bought her dress!! She and I have been hitting rough spots lately, and she really stepped up big this weekend. It was great to see her.
haha, and get this! One of my best friends since 5th grade, Brandon, stopped by to say hi on Friday. He brought with him a gift from his mom..a doilie with 'Buck' in it!! It's hilariously cute. Ed's not a huge fan, but it's def going in a frame and up on a wall somewhere :)
It was a fabulous shower! Completely showed up any that I had ever been to before. And now I have some good ideas for YOU LADIES in the future! I love you all and wish you could have been there to enjoy the girliness, it's nice to be disgustingly girly every once and a while.
