So my niece Erin is getting married.
And this is very weird for me because I vividly remember my first encounter with her. She was four and I was eleven, and we were both in primary together. She stood and gave the opening prayer for sharing time, and I was amazed at how well she could talk...like a little grown-up.
Not to mention the countless number of times I've babysat she and her siblings during my tween, and teen years. Who knew that one day I would become this cute little girl's aunt?
Now she's all grown up, and has fallen in love with an outstanding young man. Eric flew in a few days ago and met us all for the first time, and he fits the family like a glove....we're all very impressed to say the least.
Anyway, the shower was really fun, and I had a blast taking pictures. That said, I came home and was so disappointed with how blurry/grainy so many of them were! I wish I knew a smidgen more about my camera as far as taking indoor pictures, at night, with lots of indoor lighting.
Erin is sandwiched between her sisters Katie and Leah, and her mom....can you see how much they adore their sister?
Hallie had a blast having her Grandma Pierce all to herself!
JaNeal made this beautiful cake with accompanying cup cakes:
I love Anne's reaction above to this Christmas ornament/decoration. I now know what to get her for Christmas next time we have their family :)
I'll pause here for a second and give a courtesy warning that Erin's next gift says "Victoria's Secret" on the box: (tasteful as it might be, there are some things that dad's and brothers just don't want to see.)
These two beauties would have done the late 19th century proud:
As you can see, Eric showed up at the end. I sure wish I could have added more text in between these pictures but my cursor was being very difficult, and in order to keep the hairs on my head safely intact I needed to just let it go.
Next Wednesday is the BIG day, which just so happens to be my anniversary, and I am tickled pink about that little fact :)
