Sunday Bridal Shower

Sunday was all about celebrating Steph and David with the Bridal Shower. My very good friend here in Texas wanted to host the shower and we did so at her house which is on Lake Lewisville with a wonderful view of the water. This is the event that Kathy and Robin had flown in for which is still mind-boggling to me.

We started the activities at 2:00 in the afternoon with some Cuban empanadas, and other little puff pastry wrapped tidbits. I made a hot spinach artichoke dip with crackers and we had a champagne punch, white wine, red wine, iced tea and soda available. We played a few games during the afternoon, watched Stephanie open her gifts, and then moved on to the real food.

There was an assortment of sandwiches from Corner Bakery and a potato salad and macaroni salad made by Olga. Dessert was flan made by Olga at Steph's request and an assortment of baked treats from Whole Foods contributed by Kathy. The baked treats included lots of cannolis, mini pecan tarts, fruit tarts topped with blackberries or blueberries and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and white cupcakes with vanilla frosting. The food was wonderful and the company was even better.

Again, what could be better than celebrating a special day surrounded by friends and family? I can't think of a thing!
