Wedding Weekend!!!

About nine months ago,

my father-in-law informed us that he was getting remarried!

And knowing that we were planning to come to 

Texas for a visit sometime this year,

he inquired about our schedules

(well the kids year-round school schedule)

in order to plan the wedding at a time

we could make it down.

(Its nice to be that loved!)

The wedding was scheduled for 

November 19th (our fall trackout)

Then for those of you following...

things changed in our house

and we wound up

MOVING 

to Texas.

So needless to say - 

we were definitely here

for the wedding.

The festivities started Friday

and didn't stop

til Monday night

when the last guests finally went home.

My sweet sister agreed to 

fly in for the wedding

to help us out.

She came in Friday night

we did the "girl thing"

Saturday morning

Me

my sister

my daughter...

We got our toes done and went shopping.

It was nice.

Then home to 

QUICKLY 

get everyone all dressed up.

I got the kids matching outfits

that are going to double as their 

Christmas picture

and

Christmas Mass

outfits. 

One child at the wedding actually referred

to us as

"the red twin family"

HA!

(not the best focused picture - but you get the idea)

The kids were AMAZING

considering they had to sit at a table most of the night.

I will admit that we had some 

electronic help with the boys behavior

and boredom!

My daughter was the hit of the wedding

(besides the bride and groom, of course)

She LOVED dancing and stayed on the dance floor

the whole evening

wearing mommy & daddy out!

(I have no idea what Jackson is doing...)

My husband's grandpa

had a 

"dance-floor-side" seat

and he thoroughly 

enjoyed watching

his 

"tiny dancer" 

all night. 

My sister was AMAZING

and 

took the kids home

so my husband and I could

stay and enjoy 

connecting/reconnecting

with his family.

When I came back in after helping 

my sister get the kids in the car,

I sat down beside Grandpa 

and asked if he needed anything.

His only response...

"my dancer".

AWE!!!

I got to practice my spanish and re-met 

all the Texas cousins.

It was nice,

very nice!

And we had a great time...

It was nice of them to throw such a great

"welcome to Texas" 

event for us!  

HA!

(There were more pictures taken,

I will try to upload them as I receive them.)
