John and Kelly's Wedding...


We had an amazing day celebrating with John and Kelly as they got married! It was a great weekend, filled with dear friends from all over the country, my whole family in town, and lots of love :). For me, it was crazy busy! I felt SO honored that Kelly asked me to be her matron of honor and it was such a gift to stand next to her as she married my brother! Matt was also a groomsman and both the girls were flower girls! The logistics of pulling it all off and having everyone ready/where they needed to be, seemed super crazy, but it all worked out perfectly (thanks to so much help from my amazing sister-in-law and in-laws!) The girls had been looking forward to this day for months and I think it lived up to all their dreams! They looked beautiful and they were great! All six of the nieces (ages 8, 5,5,4,3,3) were flower girls and they all did perfectly walking down the isle and I have to say they are a beautiful group of sweet girls!

The reception was so much fun! Our girls stayed until after 10pm and it is definitely one of my favorite memories with them to date. We had SO much fun dancing! For the past few months we've been doing "dance parties" after dinner to practice different dance moves for the wedding. Of course the girls have thought that the dance parties were great, silly and fun! They've been talking about showing off their moves at the wedding for weeks, but I wasn't so sure that they could stay up that late happily or that they would actually get in to it away from our circle rug! But, they LOVED it! Shaelyn didn't leave the dance floor :)! As I put them in their PJ's and sent them home with their Aunt they were both crying because they just wanted to dance "one more song". It was fun!!!

We are so excited for John and Kelly as they begin their life together! It will be fun to see all that the Lord has planned for them! We're excited to be a part of it! I am so blessed to have a new sister!!!

Too many fun pictures to choose from...but here's some of my favorites!!
























All danced out and ready for bed...
