| Sunday we threw a shower for my sweet soon to be sister, Katherine (we let Ethan come too). I found a game on Etsy a few months ago that was made from a 1955 issue of Housekeeping Monthly entitled A Good Wife's Guide and 1950's Housewife seemed like a fun theme for a shower. Bethany, Grace, and I put our heads together and had a lot of fun thinking of things to go with our theme. And luckily my mother and her good friend Deb had plenty of fun items for us to use. |

| Grace, me, and Bethany (Jessica was an honorary hostess, but didn't want to stray to far away from home because she was 41 weeks pregnant) And although nothing can liven up a party like a birth, we were ok with her staying home. :) |
 |
| We played "Who's That Famous Housewife?" |
 |
| Bethany made these amazing pie pops for everyone to take home as favors. |
 |
| Pies instead of cake |
 |
| The lovely bride in her apron! |
 |
| Everyone brought a favorite recipe for Katherine |

| "Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day" ~Housekeeping Monthly 1955 |
 |
| "Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return." ~Housekeeping Monthly 1955 |
 |
| "Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction." ~Housekeeping Monthly 1955 |
 |
| Lots of Fiestaware (Ethan's favorite) |
 |
| Katherine's dad came to help load up the gifts. |
 |
| Bethany and Mrs. Deb (she came dressed up!) |
 |
| Congratulations Ethan & Katherine! We can't wait to celebrate with you on your big day! |
