Mom-In-law-To-Be Michele, Mom Sunni, Kate, and Grandma Emory playing the marshmellow game. It's a blurry pic, but note Kate's pudgy cheeks...

The game had everyone reading trivia questions about Chad to Kate and for every wrong answer she had to put a jumbo marshmellow in her mouth. Luckily she didn't miss too many. Here Grandma is reading a question.

Oops! She got it wrong and is shoving another marshmellow in her mouth.

Carol was a wonderful hostess and gave a great shower. She really went all out and we can't thank her enough. Here is a picture of all the favors. Each one had a potpourri called "Prince Charming" that of course had frogs all over it and a frog clothespin. Then each favor either had a frog shower scrubbie, frog kleenex, or fizzy bath frog. Too cute!

Look at all those lovely presents!

Opening the first gift of the day.

Kate received the Mikasa shot glasses in the pattern they registered for. Yea!

Chad's Grandma sent some handy dish towels to hang on the stove.

Grandma Boik also sent some beautiful hand embroidered towels that eneryone wooed and awed over.

Even little Zane (who will be the ring bearer) sent a froggy gift.

Kate and Leanne posing with the Sixpence Leanne gave her to put in her shoe for luck at the wedding.

Kate and Chad registered for cyrstal animals they collect, along with the frog (not shown) she received a monkey and rooster (both Chad's favorites).

A better view of the rooster. It's really pretty and colorful.

Despite the face, Kate is very pleased with her red kitchen utensils and napkin holder. We registered for a kitchen full of red gadgets and decor.

Kate looks very intrgiued by what's in the bag. Her Grandma Emory even decorated the bag herself with pictures of tropical beaches, hinting at the contents which were towels and sandals and other gear for the honeymoon in Jamaica.

Isn't he adorable?! Chad tried on the sun hat that Grandma Emory gave Kate.

Leanne helped Sunni/Mom create a bouquet with all of the bows from the gifts for Kate to carry for the wedding rehersal.

Our friend Susan. We caught her sitting in front of one of the gorgeous flower arrangements she was kind enough to provide for the party. Thanks, again!

Leanne putting a blue bow in her hair to match her cute dress, while Sunni/Mom and 2nd Mom, and hostess, Carol look on.

Can't get enough frogs! Kate was pleased with these kiddie plates, finally some Chad can't break!

Kate received lots of kitchen things, as you can see. Here she is admiring a hand blender/chopper.

A bride has to smell nice, so Kate got a set of Beautiful perfume, her favorite scent.

Chad's Mom brought a lot of gifts out from Illinois, inclouding a three room tent for Chad. It's a wonder she fit any clothes in her luggage! Here you see she did a neat wrapping job with tulle and a pretty basket.

Michele even found red frog wrapping paper!

Woo-woo! A sexy white nightgown for the honeymoon.

The nighty was beautiful with pretty beading and lace at the top. It came with a matching robe.

Chad's parents also sent a set of luggae tags with, what else, frogs on them. Something tells us we'll be the only people at the airport with those!

Michele and Alan also gave us monogrammed sheets (not shown) and towels. They're very special. Thanks again to you both, and everyone else, for the generous gifts!

All the pictures didn't stop us from laughing and having a good time...

Neither did they stop us from a kiss!

Bear hug.

The bridal party.

Kate and the Mom's all wore tiaras during the shower. Sunni's said "Mother of the Bride," Kate's was "Bride To Be," and Michele's said "Mother of the Groom."

Chad and Kate with our Mommies.

Aw, great picutre of Chad and his Mom.

Clearly Kate and her Mom did not enjoy the shower or each others company. Ha, ha! *

Chad even got a shower gift!

Too funny, a bobble head bride and groom.

Chad loved his gift. He had seen them before and shown them to Kate saying he wanted them. Thanks to Chris and Mario for thinking of him!
