Som's Bridal Shower

The BIG day for Alan & Som is approaching fast.  We're celebrating Som's bridal shower today at our clubhouse.  It was a beautiful sunny day for this special occasion!  All her wonderful girlfriends and family came to help her celebrate!  The morning started off busy to get everything set up since she only has 2 bridesmaids that live here to help out so of course I pitched in for my soon to be sis! The other 2 are all the way from Thailand and I'm assuming the traditions there are quite different. So it was me, Joanne her MOH and Cora that put it all together and I think we did a pretty nice job for her!  

Ms. Mak, myself and the soon to be bride, Som!  My little girl wasn't feeling too great today but of course couldn't miss out on the party!  She was a trooper and wanted to be there so bad.  She was mellow but a good girl!
Some of the Scrap Queens were here to help her celebrate!
The kiddos!  These girls just make my Makayla so happy even when she's down.
Here's Mylee with my Mom and Som.  Ryan brought her over a little later since she was napping when we started.  She too wasn't feeling too hot but couldn't miss the big party for Auntie!
Yay, our team won the toilet paper bride!  Isn't Antoinette beautiful?  Joanne did a great job at putting all the games together!  Go Joanne!  Glad someone's good at that since I'm so not a game person at all!  Everyone enjoyed all the games and all the prizes they gave out too!  What fun!

Say cheese!  Here's all the party participants!  What fun it was and we really hope Som enjoyed her very special bridal shower and felt like she was showered with all kinds of love from all her friends and family!  You have to take note of the banner behind us.  Thanks to Grace for teaching me how to make that!  It was so much fun and so pretty!  It said "Congratulations Som!"  Only one more month to go until the big day!
