June showers bring July........Showers?!?!

This has been one of the rainiest summers I can remember here in Ohio.  Today, however, my future sister-in-law got a gorgeous day for her bridal shower!  Jenny and Dave got engaged this past spring and are in the process of planning an October 30, 2011 wedding.  We are so excited to be adding her to our family.

Jenny's mom Suzy has amazing friends who hosted a shower for Jenny today at the Green Road Synagogue. 

Jenny is very "Green".  Her shower hostesses made sure that her centerpieces were made of recyclable materials.  I thought they were beautiful!

My great aunt, Jenny's grandma, and my grandma wasted no time.  They jumped right into kibitzing!

I loved the wrapping on this gift

Jenny and David keep kosher in the home.  This means they will need lots of dishes.  LOTS.  Did I mention lots??  I hope they buy a house with a lot of kitchen cupboards.

My grandmother made both my brother and me knitted afghans many years ago.  She wrote us letters back then saying that she was sorry she wouldn't be able to see us open them when we got married, but that she hoped we would remember her when she used them.  I'm very happy to say that both of us got to open them in front of her at our showers.  These blankets are so incredibly special.

Jenny designed the monogram that will be on their wedding invites.  The left hand picture shows their initials in Hebrew letters.  The right hand picture shows how disgustingly happy they are (Hey David - good move on the flowers.  Classy!)

The beautiful bling!

The beautiful bride to be - Welcome to our crazy family.
