Shower #2

October 8th, 2009 @ 1:31 pm by Mrs. Moonbeam

Shower #2 was held in my hometown of San Antonio at a friend’s neighborhood pavilion. My lovely hostesses got tablecloths and flowers to coordinate with our wedding colors, prepared some quesadillas and other Mexican goodies and planned out a lovely afternoon for us all. And check out these cuties (they’re 2 of my 3 flower girls).



Here I am with Momma Moonbeam and MIL Moonbeam.

Here’s Momma Moonbeam again, this time with Sista Moonbeam (MOH).

Here are my two grandmothers; they’re so cute.

The hostesses planned a few games for us. I sort of requested the toilet paper wedding dress game. I know you’re not supposed to do that, but it’s the only shower game I’d heard of and I wanted to play it. The 3 ladies on the right were the winning team (they had bridesmaid’s and a ring!) Then they had Mr. Moonbeam answer some questions about himself earlier. Out of 22, I got 13 correct (though I think a couple of those were on the edge). Then there was a game where the Mother of the Bride walks around with a tray of objects and you tell everyone to remember the details of the objects. MOB leaves the room and questions are asked about her outfit instead of the tray of stuff. And the last game was a cute little poem that was read aloud and gave you directions on how to earn style points. The person with the most points in their outfit won.

Thanks again to these lovely ladies: Momma MB’s friend Linda, Aunt Eileen, and Aunt Annie! I had a fantastic time.

Super cute!! I’ve played that toliet paper game before. It was a lot of fun, but I did look ridiculous. Welcome back to Texas, totally feels like fall, huh? (or not at all). :)

I’ve never heard of the game with the memorizing fake objects and being quizzed on her outfit but I would have totally won that one! I have this odd ability to remember what a person is wearing and my friends all think it’s creepy, now I found a use for it.

But to claim we are completely neutral is perhaps to be naïve about the human condition. ,
