Zoe and Brandon's Wedding Shower (Decorations)

On Sunday we held Zoe and Brandon's wedding shower at the house. My mom and I had been getting things ready for it for days and I was so ready to just get it over with! I was so stressed out trying to make sure we had enough food, cute decor, and a clean enough house that it was just driving me insane! The celebration ended up running as smooth as butter but I have to admit that it wouldn't have without all the help I had.

My mom coming up several days beforehand was truly what I needed and without her it wouldn't have been quite the party it turned out to be. It was just way too much for a single person to do. She helped keep me on task and ended up doing most of the cleaning the morning of the party because I was freaking out so much I could hardly function! (Thank you so much, Mom!)

My mother-in-law pitched in by making the (two) beef brisket (she makes THE BEST brisket) and bringing them over sliced and ready to serve. The briskets were around 8 lbs. each so they were no simple task!

Tony made sure the grass got mowed and that the yard was party ready. He helped when asked but mostly he watched us work and played video games.

Come back tomorrow for a post about the games we played! We had so much fun!
