My baby sister's bridal shower is tomorrow afternoon, and being the GOOD relatives we are, my cousins Jen and Bonnie came over tonight to help make some cake balls for the shindig. Bonnie is an Art Education major, so she was in charge of the piping of icing*, even though she had never thought about piping icing in her life. (I'm nice like that.) Everything my family does is hit or miss at first. We learn by trial and error. As Bonnie piped her first flower, from where *I* was standing, it looked like a pot leaf. And I asked her why she was drawing THAT on a shower cake. Turns out, it was a random poinsettia. (Not really, but that's what it looked like at first!)
(This is the notorious pot leaf. I think all our cakes should now have random poinsettias!)
(The end result! Fabulous!)
*The original plan was to make flowers out of nonpareils, but not one store in this stinkin' town had any! At least the ones that were open anyway!
This is Claire and Little Z. She was sucking up by feeding the little garbage disposal. At the rehearsal dinner, she put away more sushi than any of the grown ups. I think. Wouldn't be surprised. The bride's parents were amazed at her!
Pre-ceremony pictures were great. Here's our twins for the day. Their dresses were basically identical. Jo's dress had more embellishments of course, but wow, they were so beautiful. 
After her wardrobe change. Dancing with Jo. Sooo cute!
She danced with her daddy a lot too. Although, she was about five seconds from falling asleep when I took this picture!
Unlike Little Z, who passed out at a little past 730. She stayed like this. And I think Jo and Mike will have about 9,000 pictures of her in their disposable cameras that they put on the tables. Everyone came by to snap a picture. Or to tell me how adorable and well behaved the demons were. They were all drunk. I firmly stand by that statement.
And here's me and my big girl. She's almost FOUR people. I can't handle it. But wow. We were cute! (Props to
