Last weekend we traveled down to San Juan Capistrano for a shower honoring my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Brooke. We are just thrilled that she is going to be part of our family!! She is so sweet and fun!
This was my first time going to a "cooking shower" and it was such a neat experience. Brooke's very talented cousin demonstrated how to make the meal that was later served to us, teaching us all kinds of cooking tips along the way.
The adorable bride!
Learning the proper way to cut an onion...a must
We are all being very good culinary students
The finished product: polenta cake topped with tequila lime chicken and vegetable salad served in a halved avocado! soooo delish!
Brooke's wonderful friends and family
Irish coffee bar, how cute is that?
Earlier that day we were fitted for our bridesmaid dresses, such a fun group!
Katherine, me, Brooke, Michelle, Jacqueline, Kaylee, and Michelle (hope I got all those names right!)
Kate and Luke after having some lunch at Marie Calendar's
This was actually just before Luke managed to crawl into the adjoining room in our hotel and shut the door behind him. Since there is no knob on the other side, we could not open it. The main door was latched from the inside to keep Kate from opening it. The hotel staff was unable to open the door so we had to call the fire department. At least five guys showed up and within about 15 minutes had the door open. But that is a really long time for a mom to listen to her baby boy bawling on the other side of a door she can't open. Yeah. It was pretty terrible. Watch out for those adjoining doors!!
