Lingerie Shower for Alyssa

In January (I know this post is a little late), we had a lingerie shower at my house for Alyssa. My great friend Emily from Emme B. Photography stopped by to photograph the evening…thanks so much Em! Thought you all might enjoy seeing a few of the pictures…you’ll notice that we had to use the whole house because it’s rather small!

erratt-222Three of my favorite people in the world!

Left to right: Alyssa (the bride), Tamie (can’t tell, but she’s the mom!), Avery (Alyssa’s sister who will be getting married in May) and me!

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a dental hygienist and Tamie is the dentist I’ve worked for the last 20-something years. When Tamie and I met, Alyssa was under a year old and Avery wasn’t even born. These girls were my ‘practice children’ before I had my own! Alyssa got married last weekend and now we’re looking forward to Avery’s wedding. What a blessing to have friends who are as close as family…

Thanks, again, Emily…for being a wonderful friend and a fantastic photographer! Please check out her website when you have a chance…you’ll love it!

Happy Thursday!
