When we arrived, we went straight to the school where Carissa's mother, Caryn, works as the elementary principal to help set up & decorate. It was so fun getting to know the ladies there & to watch the school cafeteria be transformed into a lovely place for Carissa's shower.
This table was "Shower Central" where all the crafting was taking place.
This wonderful lady is Carissa's grandma.
Dave is setting the tables.
I love it when a plan comes together!
Ta da! The finish product...
After we were done for the evening, we went back to Carissa's parents house where we were staying. I felt like we were staying at the finest Bed'n'Breakfast in town! Caryn & George spoiled us.
THE DAY of the SHOWER:
The morning of the shower arrived & we were ready to go. The guys stayed to help. We arrived early to for the final touches.
Carissa was beautiful! Then the ladies began to arrive. The tables were covered in beautifully wrapped gifts. The 1st thing, Carissa answered questions about their relationship.
Caryn's assistant, Beth, spoke to us while we ate about marriage weaving in cute little stories, & ending it with a great poem of a wife's devotion to the Lord.

Caryn explains how the bingo game works before Carissa starts opening gifts.
Then came the opening of the gifts.
This is Carissa's maid of honor, Amy.
She wrote down the gifts.
And this is her bridesmaid, Lindsay.
She handed her the gifts.
These little darlings are her flower girls.
Dave was called in to help speed up the process.
Thank you Sally for the book & frame.
Beautifully handmade quilt!
Dave & Carissa were so greatful for everyone who made this shower a success!

It was a wonderful whirlwind weekend! We so enjoyed staying with the Huntsmans & getting to know them a little better. David picked a pretty special girl to have as his bride. Now on to the wedding!

Beautiful Debbie! A whirlwind you say? You are truly a blessed women.
I look forward to the wedding pictures in July.
Beautiful pics!!! What? Are Dave and Carissa like the tallest couple in the world??
Lol, not really. Her dad is taller than all of us. He's sweet as can be too. The guys worked hard as horses behind the scenes.
Since when do men go to bridal showers?? Interesting! LOL! I Wish I could have gone, but glad you could go. Looks like everyone had a great time.
