On Sunday afternoon, my best friends and I threw a surprise bridal shower luncheon for Lanee (which is pronounced Lah-nay, not Lan-nee) at Mary's house. Only it turned out not to be a surprise because Lanee figured out that we were up to something. Or Sonja spilled the beans!? Oh well, it was still a great time! We had a taco salad bar (thanks to Decoy's in WBL for making us the yummy shells) and spent most of the time chatting and eating. I realize I should have taken this picture before I mixed everything up in the salad...it looks kind of gross, but it was very good!
Check out the full album of bridal shower pics. I am really looking forward to our girls retreat (me, Lanee, Sonja, Kim and Mary..plus Lanee's cousin Olga) this coming weekend at Madeline, Island (Lake Superior). Going to be a great bonding experience....I hope!!!! Aye, we have all been BFF since Jr. High and we have been through everything together. As much as we all love each other, we don't always get along. The five of us haven't all been together to spend time like this in a very long time, so this is going to be very special:)
After the shower, I drove up to my parents house for Sunday Dinner with Gram and Gramp. They had all come at noon to watch the Vikes game on my dad's new big screen HD TV. (The Vikings ended up winning in OT 16-13....E was at the game with a buddy, but I of course, did not see any of it being at the shower).
Look at how big and adorable Annika is getting! And Michelle looks wonderful for 20 weeks! We will hopefully know by the end of the week if the baby is a boy or a girl. She and Brian leave for Maui on Friday morning...omg, how fun would it be to buy some baby Hawaiian clothes?! Annika would be so stinkin cute in a little hula outfit!
Me and Jeffrey with Gram and Gramp. They head back to Scotsdale in just a few weeks. I hope I can go down there to visit this coming year!
Love the fact that the Chiefs are on the big screen there!!

Taco salads at a shower would rock! I am sick of dainty shower food, that is so cool. The pictures are wonderful.
Have fun this weekend...No Cat Fights...Only pillow fights and doing each other's hair! lol
