Wedding Activities

This last weekend we spent in the TC's celebrating J's sister's marriage. We are very happy that she found someone who loves her so much. There were a lot of activities, with rehearsal on Thursday; bridesmaids breakfast, pictures, wedding, reception, and dance on Friday; then brunch and gift opening on Saturday. The girls cooperated way better than we were expecting. Bentley didn't take many naps at all, and didn't get enough sleep any of the nights. She was still quite the trooper, however, and didn't get crabby about much. Bria also did very well. She obeyed and was where she needed to be when she needed to be. D's parents were around to help take the girls back to his sister's or our hotel when it got too late. By Friday night Bria was begging to go to bed because she was so exhausted. She didn't even want to stay and dance, which she absolutely loves.

Instead of a traditional guest book the bride and groom decided to have people sign something they would use every day. All the guests signed a cookbook. I thought that was a wonderful idea. It was fun to leave a little message to them on a recipe.

The little girls were all entertained by all the tissue paper and bows during the gift opening.

The food during the weekend was so good. The reception was catered by the company that T and her new husband work for, and everything we had was excellent. I know that over the course of the weekend we all ate way more than we should have.

Now we are back home to our regular routine.
