Today
was Ivy's Bridal Shower. Thirty-some guests came to "shower"
Ivy with all of their blessings, love, and support. We served our guests
all of Ivy's favorite foods, snacks, drinks, and sweets. AND if you
know Ivy, you'll know that everyone was buzzin' on a sugar high. =)
We played such games as "Who am I?", "Who knows Ivy Best?",
and Wedding Pictionary. We also showed a Q&A Video (which featured
Oli in a pre-recorded video answering the same set of questions we asked
Ivy). They both answered one another's questions correctly...proving
that they really are meant to be together. *grin* The party was a success,
and the bride-to-be had a wonderful time. I also got a chance to see
and catch up with many old friends. Here are some pictures from Ivy's
party:

The
party ended around 5pm, but a bunch of close friends hung around to
chat, eat, and help clean up. I finally got back to my parent's place
around 10:30pm! Aside from all the fun, today was a long exhausting
day. I guess it didn't help that Bett and I stayed up til 3:30am last
night talking and laughing. =P
Thanks to all that came out to make Ivy's special day a memorable one!

I
just realized that my daughter is freakishly big for her age. At three
months, she measured the same in size and weight as Megan, who's seven
months old! *gasp!*
