You May Kiss the Bride

Erin and David are Married!! YAY!


We headed down to CA (with a quick stop in Casa Grande to see Grandpa and Grandma Dick, Lindsay and Jenny and Kelly and kids) the day after Christmas for the big day. Here's what kept us busy in Murrieta for a week:

*Shopping for dresses for the ceremony (I was a bridesmaid and Caelan was the flower girl)
*Getting pedicures with Andrea, Charity, Kyra and Melanie
*Shopping for food for the luncheon (and making Sean and Dad run back and forth between stores like ping-pong balls...with no shoes on...HE HE HE)
*Putting on a bridal shower for Erin (good fun)
*Sean and Dad went to the temple
*Preparing food for the luncheon (making pinwheel sandwiches, cutting and arranging fruit, making mini cheese cake cups, etc)
*Arranging all the bouquets and table center-pieces with Charity and Melanie. Lovely. (I really like doing that).
*Hauling all the tables, chairs, coolers, food, flowers, etc down the steep hill to the beach where the ceremony was
*Setting up and cleaning up
*Taking part in the wedding ceremony. What a beautiful day it was (got chilly just as people started to leave), the scenery was awesome, and the ceremony was tender.
*Celebrating a very mellow New Years Eve (all the men folk fell asleep, the teenagers dispersed to various friends houses and the women barely made it to midnight (mostly because the kids were going strong)) - we were worn out!! But we did put a puzzle together (New Years Eve tradition)
*Having our family Christmas exchange
*Eating dinner at Filippis
*The girls cutting and dyeing each others hair
*Going to the park (for just a short time...it was CHILLY)
*Sean worked on Dads car and helped Chad change his spark plugs
*Visiting a good friend from High School
*Enjoying time with all the fam

Congratulations dear sister and official "brother-in-law"!
