H&C Wedding!

October is such a  great

month! So many special birthday's and now to top it off a Wedding!

Cooper and Hannah chose to get married during the fall break, in Utah at the Draper temple!

We drove up half way on Wednesday then Thursday made it the rest of the way meeting Christensen and Kodras at a rental house Mom and Dad had gotten for the weekend.

That night I made all my siblings go to dinner with me, while Mom and Dad kept all 9 kiddos. So grateful for these amazing people I get to call family. The laughs are always so great.

The next day was WEDDING DAY. We got to meet up with family all through out the day. The girls all got dressed in the super  adorable matching dresses we found for them and the boys all looked so dapper in the vests. The temple was beautiful, Aunt Maressa met us at there and kept an eye on all the kids during the sealing. A lovely family  dinner with olive garden at the Mclees's church, showed the slide show and played the classic shoe game with the bride and groom.

Saturday morning we celebrated Reese turning 3! And got to go to scheels before heading to the reception.

I think the photo booth van  was the highlight for the kids and we got our groove on the dance floor.

After all the parties we got to bring the Kodras minus Uncle Anton home to New Mexico for the whole week, for the NM open house the next weekend.

The last Christensen wedding we went all out. Lights and vines on the ceiling and heart branded logs with an amazing display of to die for food.

Poor Elle came down with an abscess tooth infection. Her little cheek starting swelling Saturday morning until it was so painful, our sweet dentist hurried home from a soccer game to do a emergency tooth pull. She was pretty miserable and we let her skip out on most of the party but she started feeling much better as the medicine kicked in and cleared the rest of the infection.

The party was so fun and we loved getting to celebrate such a great couple in Cooper and Hannah, they are going to have so much fun together. So excited for the amazing adventures ahead for them together.

Our Kindergarten is 6

Ellese (formerly known as Elle) had a Birthday!
She started kinder and asked to go by Ellese at school, at home we still use Elle but every where else she is now Ellese.

Elle turned six and got to celebrate at school and had a brownie cake with family at home.

They sang happy birthday to her in pod and she got to wear a crown at school all day.

She got some new clothes, much needed and headband so she can leave her hair down for school some days.

She is such a specail girl, so full of spunk and as smart as the come. She loves her brothers and is really so patient with them and the rest of us. She loves when Grandma paints her nails and she is always willing to snuggle with whomever needs a little love.  She is loving Kindergarten and is doing well and trying hard things.
