The day was here! Kyli and Chris's wedding day!
Our excitement was off the charts!
The girls could hardly contain themselves, and I was just soooo happy!
These were the signs that I made for the reception:
All the nieces got these beautiful dresses. I was in love with them:
We made it to the temple in great time :)
The sealing was beautiful. It was so great being there with most of my family. Kyli and Chris are going to have such a great marriage. I love them so much!
Of course, after all was done and we had to wait around for like, an hour!!!!, there were plenty of pictures to be taken!!!!
One of my new most favorite pictures ever.
They had to come out twice :) because their photographer was late! He was waiting somewhere else, and got all confused. It was so funny.
Look how adorable they are!!!!
Dad like pretending that Brent was his body guard!
It got quite chilly waiting around for pictures and what not, so one of Ky's friends let Conli have their coat for the day! Talk about nicest! Rachelle was AMAZING and came and grabbed our kids and took them to Nicole's for us. We really have the best friends.
After we got rid of the kiddos, we got ready for the luncheon. It was at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. We quickly realized that there was a ginormous problem....NO DIET COKE!!!! So, Casi and I made a game time decision and ran down the street to this cute little soda shop. We got like 12 drinks I believe. It was hilarious running back up the street and up the elevator....people were giving us the craziest looks! Hey, we need our refreshment in the form of the soda!
That mustache though....getting into all sorts of trouble.
After the luncheon- that was so great- good food, and a video and Dad spoke and Chris's dad spoke...it was great- we went and grabbed our kids from Nicole, and drove up to Logan. I had Brent drop me off at the reception site and he then took the kids up to mom and dads while I stayed and helped Mom, Ky, Kara and Cas decorate. It was at a restaurant that some guy bought and refurbished and made super cool for somewhere for his kids to chill.
It turned out awesome. We had a bunch of deco and it was beautiful.
Trying to get the frames hung just right for the back drop.
At long last it was time to get ready for the night.
She's kind of the most beautiful ever.
She was gorgeous. In every way.
Before the people started lining up, we tried to get some good pics of the fam. These boys were adorable.
And some of the girlies. How lucky are we!?
The men folk.
Then the people started coming. The rest of the fam showed up and we got to eating and mingling and hanging and laughing and just straight up partying. They had a hot chocolate bar and they served glazed donuts with maple ice cream on top. It was soooo nummy!
I so enjoyed visiting with Uncle Lonnie, Aunt Germaine and Aunt Tonette. I miss them. I don't see them often and it hurts my heart.
Derek stopping to smell the roses.
Sweet Lynnie with Conli.
For a long while, I corralled the children in the basement for some crazy to be had. They watched a movie for a bit, then they played games. It's so fun to sit and watch these kids. I love all these cousins.
After a while we got called up because they were going to cut the cake.
Conli got a little nervous :)
But all was well.
I love this one of us all looking at Tate, trying to coerce him to go away so we can get a picture. :)
Around 10, Brent decided it was time to head out. I wanted to stay and help clean up, but after weighing my options, we decided I would go home with my family, and I made Jena and Casi promise to help mom clean everything up. I loved this day. It was beautiful. The weather was perfect, the family all together is one of my most favorite things in all the world, and eternal families were made. I love it.
