A Bridal Shower for Allison

I am behind a little so I am taking this opportunity to catch up! Several weeks ago my sister (Allison's Aunt) and her maid of honor gave Allison a bridal shower for her theatre/choir and school friends. It was no surprise that her theatre/choir friends that she did EVERYTHING with in High school were the ones to come......but to me the neatest thing of the shower is that 2 of her teachers came, 1 - theatre and 1 - choir, and as you know this was Allison's life in High School so it meant everything to me that they would make the time to come! Her voice teacher would have been there too, but she ended up in the hospital, which we were all very sad to hear, but she was so cute in that even though she was in the hospital, she made sure that the maid of honor got her present to make sure she was represented at the shower! So I know that she would have been there if she could have! Allison loves these teachers and her friends so much it was awesome to realize that these same friends and teachers loved her as well! And that even though they are all in different colleges and pursuing different paths, they have stayed in contact with each other! Another very cool thing about this shower is that everyone stayed for hours and talked even when it was technically over.....everyone stayed and visited and got all caught up! It was too fun! The Shower had a theatre theme.....hence the Concession Stand refreshments!

Allison's Aunt and Maid of Honor who put this whole thing together for her!

The Choir and Theatre friends who came.

Another Aunt and Grandma came.

Opening presents!!!! This is how she smiled the whole time!!!!

And the best part.......everyone just sitting around talking for a LONG time after it was over! (Aileen got to come in and remembered these same teachers from High School. It was so sweet for them to acknowledge Aileen and humbling to see that they remembered her name and wanted to talk to her. Of course Aileen was in heaven because she got to come to the bridal shower and be with other girls her own age!!!)
