Wedding Week

My baby sister, Aimee got married last week.  It was a fun filled week of exciting events starting with Aimee's bachlorette party on Monday night.  It was at Mimi's Cafe.  We had some delicious food and fun helping Aimee get ready for her wedding night! :)
Here is the whole group. Angela and I were the old ladies there. The rest were Aimee's cute young friends.

Here's Aimee opening some of her cute stuff.

 
I'm sure Aimee looked smoking hot in these! 

And here's just Aimee, Angela and me. 

The next night, Aimee went through the Draper Temple and recieved her endowment.  I was so glad that I could be there to support her as she made this important step in her life.  I don't have any pictures however...its a little hard to get a picture of that!  But, of course, my mom did! 

Next up on the wedding week agenda was getting the flower girl dresses made.  It was so fun making them and they turned out great!  Here is the finished product. 

After I finished my girls' dresses, I had another project I wanted to complete before the wedding and that was making a Sara.  Since my sister, Sara, is on a mission right now, Aimee wanted a cut out of her at the wedding.  So we went to Zurcher's and found a perfect match for our sister, Sara, in a Sarah Palin cut out.  She was like the same build and height and she even looked dressed like a missionary in a nice dress suit thingy.  Here she is with Sister Rappleye's face on her!

I think it looks pretty true to life!!  And there are my girls with their dresses on!  Aren't they darling??

Then Devin and Joslyn got to town with their two cute little girls.  So I headed over to the Airhart's so we could make Cambry her matching dress.  Joslyn had already made Vienna's dress out in NC.  So we got to work and it was so much fun making the dress and eating!!  It seems like Joslyn's mom always has amazing food around.  Like for instance, she just had a pan full of chocolate which just happened to taste as amazing as European chocolate!  Not to mention she also had, carmeled apples, stroganoff, roasted squash, cinnaburst bread, and the list goes on!  I left there the most full I've been in a long time!  I wish I had taken more pictures, I only got these two of the babies playing together.  They were pretty cute little mess makers!  Spilling popcorn and other things!  At least Will was willing to help clean it up, he walked around the whole time pushing "the Beck's" swiffer around.  He is such a little janitor!  I loves to push around a mop and broom at home too! 

Lily, Ava, Cambry and Devin wasted no time reconnecting and playing downstairs.  From what I heard, they all had a great time!  I'm so glad that my girls bonded with Cambry this summer when we visited so that they could have so much fun in this short visit! 

We completed the dress and the wedding was the next day.  Did I mention that it had snowed like all day the day before the wedding?  It was freezing!  But in all the pictures it looks like a nice sunny day, and it was, just cold and sunny! 

So on Friday, October 26th, Aimee married Keith Mondragon in the Salt Lake Temple at 11 am.  I did her hair by the way!  Which set me back on getting myself ready, so I barely made it to the wedding.  I was running in, super stressed that I might miss it! But I made it with 5 minutes to spare!  Phew! 

Here is the beautiful bride coming out!

 A kiss, of course! 

 Here's Lily and Ava hugging the princess Aimee!

My girls were having so much fun running around the temple grounds. 

 I love this picture, look at Ava, just looking up to her big sis!

 Lily was using this as a slide.  Haha!

 Here are more pictures of the bride!  She looked so great!  With mom.

 With dad. 

 And with grandma.

Lily and Ava having fun with Cambry and Vienna.  I just love having cousins!

 Look at all these cute girls!!

After the wedding we went to Boston Deli for the luncheon.  I don't have a single picture from there!  It was hard enough keeping track of and feeding three kids without trying to take pictures!  But it was a good meal and it was fun to visit with family! 

After eating we headed back to mom and dad's to change for the reception.  Here are the girls in their orange dresses.

 And then look at this dapper young man!  Isn't he handsome???

 I was trying to get a picture of all the girls in their orange dresses, but 4 girls 5 and under are not likely to all hold still all at once! 

 Here is the whole fam, minus Cory!  We are really missing him!

 Amazing, we're all looking! 

From there it was on to the reception! Where Will had quickly had enough of the pictures and nonsense!  Lucky for me, I have the best mother in law in the world!  Cory's mom came and picked up the kids after pictures were over and I was free to party it up at the reception!  And I did!

 Here's Angela, Joslyn, myself and McKall!  Every one looks great in their pink and creme!  Angela looks skinner than ever (not sure what she was worried about tucking her shirt in, she looks hot!) And Joslyn is wasting away!  Any more marathon training from her and I'm afraid she will disappear!  Good thing the race is in a week or so!  And cute little petit McKall, always looks great!  Why am I a good six inches taller than her?  Oh wait, it was those ridiculous platform shoes I was wearing!  I love these ladies! 

 Here is Aimee and Keith cutting the cake.  Doesn't Aimee look amazing???

 Feeding each other, awww, (puke, actually) (Just kidding!)

 After the cake was cut and the bouquet was tossed, it was then time to cut loose and toss my shoes aside and start dancing!!!  I wish I had some pictures of the wild dancing that took place, but alas I was too busy doing the wild dancing!  Besides, pictures wouldn't do my amazing moves justice!  Anyways, all and all, it was a pretty fun day, long, but very enjoyable!  I loved being with family and I was happy to support Aimee on this most important day!  We wish her the best of luck and happiness!  Phew, what a week!
