Tina's Wedding!

My baby sister got married on the Friday after Christmas. Our anniversary is the next day so I loved that I was able to go to a sealing and remember all the beautiful things that go on that special day. It was a beautiful sealing with the most beautiful bride. I am so blessed to have 4 wonderful siblings and watching them have such wonderful things happen makes me so happy. I love you guys!! They wouldn't let me help Tina get dressed which made me sad and then Aiden fell and bloodied his nose on the way to the Temple and they missed most of the pictures but the photographer was nice enough to redo one for us and took a family photo of us at the reception which I greatly appreciated. But I also remembered that while I spent a week sewing that dress for Kaitlyn(ha oof...) that it was Tina's day and she was happy so I was happy for her. The kids cheered up for the rest of the day and my tired body recovered from sleepiness and Jeremy was such a trooper despite being sick (which we now found out is the flu and possibly walking pneumonia...oops :( hope no one caught it. The rest of us seem ok because of flu shots but Jeremy was the unlucky one who's flu shot seems to have failed) and we are so glad we got to share in Tina's special day. And so excited to have Chris as a part of our family :).



Their reception was beautiful, apparently Chris' sister did all the decorations. She should be a party planner it looked amazing!! One of his nieces became instant friends with my kids. I didn't learn her name sadly but she kept following and hugging on Kaitlyn and she and Aiden kept hugging and saying they were best friends. It was the cutest. 

I had little navy espadrilles that are ADORABLE to go with Kaitlyn's dress (Tina's colors were yellow, grey and navy) but even though they were size 1's they were too big and wouldn't stay on her feet. Yep. My 9 MONTH OLD wears newborn size shoes. Poor girl will never learn to walk with such tiny feet haha


goofy face haha!


Kaitlyn loves her Aunt Tina! Isn't she the most beautiful bride?


The photographer took a better photo of our family but I won't have it for weeks, Kaitlyn was determined to look at mom and not Uncle Keith who was nice enough to take the photo. And Aiden isn't crying in the other one because I won't let him play with Chris' niece. Ha! I almost wore my yellow dress from our family pictures but I thought it was a bit too casual for a temple wedding and it's a good thing because I would have been the only one in yellow and would have stuck out lol


Like my broken crooked glasses? Time for a new pair! I just loved this pair so much, I hate buying and getting used to a new pair.



See cute little miss polka dots in the background? That was their best friend. I tried to edit it out but Kaitlyn got a BAD cold burn from the literally 10 minutes she was outside and it looked like someone whacked her face. My kids have really sensitive skin when it comes to the cold, Aiden used to get cold burns really easily. 



Look at that cute girl in her cute dress! I was so proud of myself, I've never sewn anything but curtains before. I need to get my machine serviced because it was struggling but it turned out alright!


Goof. He kept sneaking over to the candy table to eat candies. Stinker!!!! What am I going to do with this kid...he sure is cute though the little trouble maker. And if you ignore the candy stealing he was actually really good at the reception


Cracker snacks!




Daddy Daughter dance!



Got some flash in my photos. I took all these with my phone because the professional photographer was there with better equipment than me and I didn't want my flash to do this to his photos so I just took phone ones and there wasn't a lot of light in the reception center so these aren't the best but such is life. Such a cute couple!






Kaitlyn and her Grandpa :)




Even Aiden got a dance with the bride.



Aiden's sweet dance moves.





It was a beautiful wedding and beautiful day and I am so thankful to have Chris as a part of our family and to see Tina so happy. Congrats to you both! Love you guys!!!
