Showers (literally) of fun

This past weekend was Colleen's bridal shower. It was a wonderful weekend. Very busy and very fun. We had around 30 people here Friday for some pizza... what a fun time catching up with everyone. Sean's Aunts (many of them) came in, some cousins, Dave's parents and sisters, Pat, Kristin and kids, all made the trip. It was lots of fun to see how everyone was doing. I would imagine it was weird for many of them being in the house with Sean and I as the hosts rather than Sue and Tim. I am sure if Sue was hosting there would not be pizza as the main dish!

The shower was great. Colleen got lots of good gifts. I am jealous. I think I need a shower! We had dinner at Sue and Tim's house that night... lots of food, wine and laughs. The kids hung out with Sean during the day. I took K to the shower, and she hammed it up, smiling at everyone and being her generally pleasant self. The girls were fantastic all weekend. They were social and well behaved and pretty self sufficient. This is a good thing, as you never know how they will be. I wouldn't say we would get "parents of the year" award, but no one is calling Super nanny on us either! Maura hung (literally) around with Katy and Emily all weekend. She was devastated Sunday morning when we were headed to church and she asked if "the girls [she] loved so much will be there" and I had to say no. They are very far away. Maura has a bit of an obsession with older girls right now.

B was a total card. She would smile and say cheese even when no one was taking a picture. She would flirt with whoever would flirt back. She usually does not go to people she doesn't know... that phase may be over.

And Mags, I am always a little worried about Maggie, but to be honest, I hardly saw her. She and Caitlin played great together and really did their own thing. Good for them (and good for us). I was sad the weekend was over so fast. I am looking forward to the wedding weekend even more now! Oh, and the showers (literally) in the title referred to the many thundershowers we had this weekend!
