Over the weekend, we celebrated Arlene's Bridal Shower, as she prepares for her upcoming wedding. Most of our aunts, female cousins and some close family friends gathered at Marie Callender's Restaurant (Arlene's favorite) to enjoy some fun games, yummy food and delicious pie.
As part of the festivities, VJ, Cyn Cyn and I made rice krispie treats as the party favors. We used cookie cutters to create sea turtles and sea shells, as pictured below. They even resemble the tatoos that my sisters and I have, as described here. Cindy would have been proud of our creativity.
The sea turtles and sea shells were inspired by Arlene's love of the Disney movie, The Little Mermaid. Also, turtles are always a way to honor and remember Cindy. We know she was celebrating with us in spirit, but making and sharing the turtle shaped treats was just a small way to help us feel her presence even more.
