Last night was the epically awesome bridal shower for Nieman. For years we've joked about having a robot-themed bridal shower for her, so it was amazing to see it finally come to fruition! (Much like my own dinosaur-themed bridal shower that Katy planned for me.) After many, many hours (days) of baking and making decorations with Katy, the party went swimmingly. The only thing I wasn't sure of, because it wasn't in my control, was how many people would come. I needn't have worried! Nieman is so loved that people traveled for hours to get here. I'm glad we had a ton of desserts for them to make it worth it.
Unfortunately, the pictures didn't turn out at all like I hoped. It was dark and the things I loved the most just didn't pop the way I wanted them to. Plus, I was pretty dumb about it and didn't take many pictures at all, and some things just aren't documented. This was a huge deal to me, so I'm bummed. Oh well. The ceiling was covered in yellow streamers, and we had garlands everywhere that Katy and I made. There were robot details everywhere, which were awesome. I think a classy robot shower is quite a feat to pull off!

| Kaity looking so cute |
Kaity got some awesome presents, including a croquet set and a tree. Her friends know her so well! We had about 20 people in all. The game was even fun, which I was surprised by. I know this post sounds braggy, but it really wasn't all me--Katy did everything with me, and others helped. I needed this to be extra-amazing because it's Kaity Nieman who is getting married, which is a very big deal.
Now I just need to get working on things for her next bridal shower in California!
