This past weekend involved some milestones and big events for three of our granddaughters.
Granddaughter #3, Emily is scheduled to be married on October 11. This past Friday morning Christy and Cassidy hosted a brunch shower for her Dallas family and friends.
Cassidy did a beautiful job of planning the menu and preparing most of the food.
Of course nothing could have happened without Mom's assistance.
The menu consisted of Starbuck's Lemon Cake, Chicken on Waffles, Quiche, parfaits with a variety of fruits, and fresh Louisiana watermelon.
We missed Chandler, but someone had to be in that Kindergarten classroom Friday morning.
Emily loves succulents, so the table arrangement consisted of a beautiful display highlighted by early morning sunshine.
The beautiful punch bowl has sentimental value for these two girls. It was purchased in 1954 by their paternal grandmother for her mother. It has now been passed down to the fourth generation.
One of Emily's close friends and classmates was able to attend.
Sweet Sisters
Emily's paternal grandmother, Sandra and Aunt Robin
Although I am a step-grandmother, she is still very much my granddaughter.
She received several really nice gifts and was thrilled with everything. Now to look forward to October.
Also on Friday, Granddaughter #5, Mary-Elizabeth became a college freshman.
Mary-Beth begins her new adventure as a Nursing Student at Xavier University in Cincinnati today.
She is so excited and ready to begin this new adventure. We can't wait to see how God will use this new experience.
On Sunday, her big sister, Granddaughter #4, Savannah moved into a campus apartment from a dorm to begin her Junior year at Trine University in Angola, Indiana.
She has some really exciting challenges ahead this year as she is a Student Government officer and has sorority responsibilities while continuing to be on the Dean's List.
Mom and Dad will also be facing their own challenges when for the first time in many years, Michelle will not be fixing someone's bag lunch and seeing that they get to school on time.
We think it will take all of 2 minutes to adjust. LOL!
Being a grandmother could not be more fun!
Well, my goodness, so much girly fun!!! They are all just beautiful and I know you were glowing. I'm having girly fun this week as the girls stay with me since Windy started work 2 weeks ago and the girls do not start until Friday. Oh, the joys of different school schedules. :o))
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wedding shower. How exciting! Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting also for the girls going to college. You must be so proud. Wishing them all a great year ahead.
Don't they grow up fast? Looks like a beautiful shower. So many changes it seems in your granddaughter's lives. I saw my girls this weekend, more about that hopefully soon. You're not going to believe what's been happening around here!
ReplyDeleteLibby, your kids are all over the place! What a beautiful shower to be blessed with. I am sure the wedding will be spectacular and wishing them well. You have so many blessings in your life and all those grandchildren are super blessed to have such a loving, devoted grandmother! I love nurses … my experiences with nurses have always been good.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to both of them! I like the succulents display.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
