bridal shower

Last night was the bridal shower for my brother and future new sister-in-law. We had a fun night getting to know each other better. Tara, another sister-in -law had games galore. Mom, Raegen, and I brought a few munchies and it was fun to simply girl talk.
My Mom makes some rockin sugar cookies. She hand painted each of these little wedding cake cookies. They not only tasted good, but were beautiful to look at as well.
Here are the little girls who added some liveliness to the bridal shower.
Once the shower was over, the sky opened and there was rain galore. There was some loud thunder and bright lightening. The inclement weather knocked the power out of the church building. The church has emergency lights that turned on, but not int he bathroom. One of our guests was in the bathroom when the lights went out. Thankfully, Kayleigh came to the rescue. She had just completely charged up her DS, which provided enough light to help our guest int he bathroom. The only light that I had was my cell phone, which you can see in Tara's hand, which provided enough light to the entrance to the bathroom.
Kellen and Tara were waiting by the door to see if the rain would let up enough to get to their cars and to throw the trash away from the party. We were in the building for a while. Clyde took our boys to see a movie and he said that the power was out from the mall to the church building. They had to wait in the mall for a while to be able to go out to the van. On the drive home, Clyde spotted a car that was in about knees depth worth of water. The off ramp to the highway had flooded and this person thought that they could drive through it. Obviously not.
