My best friend (Shannon!) got married, and guess who photographed the big day?? It was such a great wedding, and my family got to come with me. I was a very large 7-month-pregnant woman getting down on my knees and running around for shots, but we got excellent shots!! And we made it a fun family trip.

High school friends...

And Cliff took great care of the kids and danced the night away...

We had an Ariel fishing station...

Stone was the master behind the fence...

We also played pin-the-lips on the frog, and then we had a Frozen piñata. I'm missing those pictures!
And the best part....the Disney princess castle.

She jumped in it ALL day. Before her friends showed up, and long after until the sun went down.

 This was the invitation we gave out. It was printing on special shimmery paper, and rolled up as a scroll:

Time change at church...

Our church schedule changed to 1pm this year. Though a slow morning is nice, it is the roughest schedule on the little ones (okay, and me! bye bye Sunday nap!). It was especially hard for Knox this past Sunday. He couldn't even stay awake for singing time...
