Engagement Party

On Sunday our families put together an engagement party for Curtis and I. We had such a great time! Originally we were going to have it at the Cove but with rainy weather we ended up having it at the cabana in our condo complex. It worked out much better and the kids were still about to play outside by the pond. Jay and my dad barbecued up the meat and the mom's and sister's brought tuns of nummy food. My sweet Grammie picked out a heart basket that she filled with a variety of little candy...that is just like her :-) I missed not having her there with us but it was so thoughtful of her to think of the basket, you're the best Grammie!

After we ate Barbie had some fun games prepaired for the party. She split everyone into two group with Curtis and I in the center and asked questions about us: how we met, our first job, our first date, etc. It was fun to see who knew the right answers. Surprisingly no one got right our favorite deserts, apple pie and angle food cake. Then Curtis was given a book full of advice from the family that he had to read for everyone. My favorite one was from Sheila, "If Julie is really mad at you give her money to go buy a new pair of shoes" and I hope Curtis uses that advice! My activity was getting dressed blindfolded for our wedding night in preparation for if we have no power camping. That was pretty hilarious considering all the clothes were from the kids dress-up box! We both had fun with the games, thanks B-toner!

What a great day for the whole family to hang out. You all made it so memorable for Curtis and I really felt special. Thank you all so much for putting this together for us, it meant the world to us (especially me)! pictures
