Sissy's Bridal Shower

my sister-in-law Ashli Jane (see her blog here) and I threw my sister her bridal shower on saturday. we held the shower at my parents' house, so naturally my Mom helped us with everything. we're so glad she did, because it was a hit! 

we had fun celebrating Ashley's upcoming nuptials. she is marrying her high school sweetheart Blaze (yes, that's his real name). we somehow always knew they'd be together even after they broke up during high school. my whole family always teased her about him because we could see they were meant to be. they remained close friends and when he got home from his mission in Hawaii, they started dating again. right before her birthday in September, he asked that fateful question. they've set the date for January 6th. 

we can't wait and are so excited for them. Congratulations Ashley and Blaze! (Ashley just started a blog too; see it here). they're also some of my favorite subjects for pictures, so expect to see more of the cute couple.

Ashley got some great gifts...bad to admit I'm jealous? she wasn't nearly as embarrassed as we expected her to be when she opened her sexier presents- I didn't even get a full blush out of her with my gift!

I didn't really take the time to document the event because I was busy socializing/hosting. we did play a fun game where I asked Ashley questions that Blaze had already answered on video and saw how they matched up. Ashley did very well; some of their answers were the same, word for word! go Sissy...and a special thanks to Blaze for editing the video for me.
