Araceli's Bridal Shower
I can't believe it! Only a few more days before Justin and Araceli are married! Her bridesmaids and family weren't throwing her a shower, so mom called me and asked if I could do it. I said yes, and then stressed and stressed about it. I'm weird like that. That morning I escorted her through the temple to get her endowments out. It was so beautiful and wonderful. I'm so glad I was able to be there and help her through. I love seeing my family all in white. It's truly how I imagine Heaven to be. Aaron was gracious enough to watch Gracie for a few hours while we went. I worried about them, but she did great under Aaron's care. He also cleaned the house for me, so it would be easier to make the food and set up decorations for the shower.
The food table.
I made chips and pico de gallo, rolls, fruit kabobs, cucumber tomato salad, chocolate kisses, and a teriyaki chicken, spinach, and mandarin orange pasta salad. We had mint lemonade and bottled water to go with it.
The pink velvet wedding dress pull apart cupcakes I made. So yummy.
I made mint sugar scrubs for the favors, and we played a few games. I put all of their engagement photos on hanging streamers attached to a LOVE frame with more of their pictures. We played a "name the price" game with groceries for Araceli's future kitchen, a spice game where they had to name which spice was which, a marriage advice game, and a game where Araceli had to answer a bunch of questions about Justin and each one she got wrong she had to eat a piece of Bubblicious bubblegum. It was hilarious!

Presents!
Everyone who came. We had eighteen people in our tiny condo. There were people sitting on the floor! Yikes! We also had to repeat everything once in English and again in Spanish.
She loved it!
Araceli holding all the kids that came. I don't think they will be baby less for long.
Justin was a good sport and kissed all the bows out of her hair.
