Shannon's Shower

Near the end of January Kelly helped host a couples shower out in Gauss, TX where her friend Shannon's parents live. Shannon is getting married in Houston on March 7th. Shannon's friends and family were there, in addition to most of Isaias' family. There were lots of kids around, and Addison saw Ellie that she knew from the previous get together out there. It was rather cold outside, so we stayed inside their barn most of the time. They had moved most of the equipment so there was plenty of room to hang out and eat. Addison liked to follow Ellie around and get into trouble by pushing on the blue tarp they had as a barrier to prevent the kids from messing with any tools. We brought along our Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart for the older kids to play with. It was very popular and kept the kids busy.

Addison kept wanting to make trips outside, despite how cold it was. I was nominated to go with her since Kelly is not a big fan of the cold, is pregnant, and was hosting the party. Addison would run around kicking the piles of leaves and picking up sticks to throw. She really likes being outside, and it is hard to explain to her why she can't go out when it is really cold. Overall, we had a fun time and look forward to visiting again when it is warmer.

This is the 3D style cake that we had at the end of the party. I'm not sure how they did the bow, but it tasted great.
