This past weekend we had an anniversary dinner and two wedding showers to attend. I have to say, it was a very busy and long weekend, but we had fun at all the events. If you read this blog on a regular basis you know that we have been super busy with home improvement projects. In some ways it was nice to get away from all the remodeling for a few days, but it was a very busy weekend so there was no opportunity for resting.
On July 5th, Kyle's grandparents, Roy & Bernice Weinheimer, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary! Wow! So this past Friday, the entire family (Kyle's mom's side of the family is HUGE and that is just the siblings) had dinner at El Maguey in Fredericksburg to celebrate this amazing milestone. It was great to see everyone and look at the great wedding pictures from 60 years ago.
Saturday evening we attended a couple's wedding shower for Kyle's cousin, Jetta and her fiance' Chad. They had great food and it was fun watching everyone compete in washers, horseshoes and 42.
On Sunday, I helped host a shower for Jetta. This shower was a "Girls Only" shower and it was beautiful. We held the shower at
Grape Creek Vineyards just outside of Fredericksburg. It helped that Jetta works there and was able to get us the room since they no longer rent it out for functions. We had about 50 people in attendance. This was a display shower so all the gifts arrived unwrapped and were beautifully displayed for all to see.
The food was amazing. There were so many delicious things made by the hostesses...I am going to have to get some of these recipes! We had a chocolate fountain, fruit, veggies, cookies, sandwiches, dips, cake squares and bars.
These were the best chicken salad sandwiches and I am pretty picky when it comes to chicken salad...there were even apples in it and I loved it...I really need to get this recipe.
Cake squares and apricot almond bars...I am not a huge apricot fan and these were yummy!
Pimento cheese sandwiches...I love these, but apparently when you make them at home, they don't taste as good as they do when they are cut into little triangles and served at a shower...
These are the cookies I made...
The room where we had the shower...the table decorations were beautiful!
The gift table at the beginning of the shower...there were many more gifts by the end.
We had a pretty good spread for the shower...
The "sign in" area...I also made the invitations for the shower.
We were absolutely exhausted by the time we got home Sunday night, but it was fun!
Until next time...Gig'em!
