Yesterday Ridley went to his first bridal shower. My friend Katie, who I have known since the second grade, is getting married on May 2, so her sister Dorothy and I threw a shower for her.
Ridley started the morning by sleeping in! He slept until 8:00, which he almost never does on weekends. It was great because I got to sleep in a little too. After he was up, fed and dressed (in that order) we headed out to Brueggers for bagels and then to Target for flowers - and we found a cute summer hat for Ridley that he can wear to the zoo.
When we got back from Target we met up with Diane, who had agreed to help me keep an eye on Ridley while hosting the shower (I really had to twist her arm to get her to do that - haha), and we headed over to the party room at our apartment complex to get set up.
Everyone had arrived and was eating by about 11:40, so we started up some games. We did the traditional "clothes-pin" game where everyone is given a clothes-pin and then they aren't allowed to say certain words (like "wedding," "Katie" and "Drew") or someone else can claim their clothes-pin. Then who ever has the most clothes-pins at the end of the shower wins. We played it using fake rings and necklaces though. We also had a quiz about Katie and Drew for people with questions like "When was Katie and Drew's first date?" (Answer: Nov 7, 2006)
After we played games Katie opened gifts, and Ridley took a nap in his moby wrap. He was so sleepy from all the excitement.
After the shower I brought Diane out to Stillwater - Grandpa Jeff wanted to see Ridley too!
