/wedding Shower

The event was probably a first time for most of the guests. I hosted a bridal shower for my nephew David's finance. They will be married the end of this month. The theme was kitchen with games related to that 'dear' place in every woman's home. Bridal showers are not common here and so the idea was new. Our living room was pleasantly packed with 14 women and three little ones present. I enjoyed putting this together and having the female part of our family together along with Veronica's mother and a few friends. David and Veronica make a lovely couple and we are happy for the Christian home that they plan to establish.
If there is anything strikingly different here it is the amount of time the Centellas family spends together. Not necessarily all of the family at the same time, but Daniel and his brothers (and families) spend a lot of time together, just dropping by for coffee or going out for Sunday dinner together. Between family times, renewing old friendships and making new, we are often busy with other people here at the house .
The temperatures are beginning to climb now that Spring has arrived. It is quite hot. We've been in the pool only a couple of times, but as it gets hotter, I will MAKE time to get into some cool water!
