Wedding Shower

Andi, Josh, and Avery (their daughter)

My niece, Andi (Andrea), is getting married September 20 and this weekend my sisters, sister-in-law, I gave her a wedding shower. It was a couples thing and it was pretty fun! The weekend began by the siblings (all but one) gathering at my parents house on Friday night. We had my mom's chili (which I love!) and some interesting conversation. It started off with the guys talking about my dad, brother, and nephew's trip to see the Cardinal's play. They had seats directly behind the opposing teams dugout so they were on TV alot. My sister-in-law, Trish, was saying that every time she saw them on TV my brother, Brad, (her husband) was eating and my dad was on his cell phone. Out of the blue my brother-in-law, Brett, said, "I wonder what camera they were catching you on? Center field?" Only Brett would wonder about that...

Then the conversation moved to pizza. My sister, Laurie, said they were getting pizza recently and Brett (same guy as above and her husband) was trying to figure out the area of a 12-inch pizza to see if they would get a better deal on a 14-inch. Again, only something Brett would wonder about...or actually figure out!! Then my brother-in-law, Dave, got involved along with my brother, Dan, and they actually sat there and figured out the areas of 12, 14, and 16 inch pizzas. Wow. Then we started having math class. Dan (former math teacher) was quizzing us on 12X12, 13X13, 14X14, 15X15, etc. and asking us if we knew how to figure those out without using paper. All in all it was a very interesting evening!

The shower was good. Lots of good food and some fun shower games were played! That night we went out to celebrate Brett's 50th birthday - which will actually be on Tuesday. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings and then to one of the Riverboats. Some of us won, some of us lost but we had some great fun together.
