Mar 30

A few weekends ago, my 3 sisters threw Tom and me an amazing shower in Atlanta.  Tom’s parents also flew down to join the party, so it was great to have the family together in our city.  The theme was “Around the Clock”, and a bon temps was had by all (which means “good times” in French).  The event really made us feel the oncoming of a nearing wedding.  We really felt the love from our friends in Atlanta, and are so thankful for the generous showering of gifts and time with us.  Thanks Robert Cross, Tom’s groomsman, for taking excellent photos!

Playing “shower games” after the gift opening, which involved flipping cups.  First team to flip all of their cups wins.  This definitely got the crowd going!
