a bridal shower {the second}

leslee's second shower was hosted by mom's sweet friends, miss betsy and miss earnestine. 

(not pictured because my camera battery died. MOH fail.) 

sidenote: these ladies also hosted high school graduation parties for each of us. they are pretty much the best.

petit fours! with calla lilies! all about the details.  

this was a recipe shower. 

filled with lots of pretty (and practical!) kitcheny things. plus each guest's favorite recipe and what les (and keith!) will need to make them. 

let's just say les' reactions to unknown kitchen contraptions were pretty fantastic. she was visibly excited about everything -- regardless of knowing what it was or how to use it. but excitement, she sure didn't lack!

this basket of goodies was filled with everything she needed to make veggie pasta!

note: in trial run, this was made. and eaten. with no leftovers. thanks to miss cindy!

little known fact about my sis -- 

her left-handedness makes her quite terrifying with scissors. or knives. or anything sharp. 

it's really frighting to watch her open her gifts. everyone holds their breath hoping she doesn't seriously injure herself in the box-opening process. 

this time around Bridesmaid Sarah "leslee proofed" her box. previously opened, then re-closed with regular tape. 

no sharp objects required. brilliant sarah!  :)

and then my camera died. so if you see my mom. tell her to send me her pictures and i'll amend this post. 

oh wait, I see her every day? and still haven't gotten them from her? 

alright. i'm on it.

two showers down! two more to go!
