Mexican Shower

Last night we were at a couples shower for our nephew Justin and his bride-to-be Natalie. The theme was tropical/Mexican, since the wedding will be in the Caribbean.

Aunts from both sides put on the shower. Gaylin, Me, Dena (M-O-G), Natalie, Connie, Karen

Two sets of grandparents, parents, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends had a great time enjoying the wonderful food and atmosphere in the beautiful weather.

I was in charge of the watermelon fruit bowl and had fun cutting it into a beach theme. I put ocean waves on the sides and a sun and palm tree on each end.
