Now on to the reception

I know I went to TX for a WEDDING and have yet to blog about the WEDDING.

So without further ado here are some RECEPTION photos.

It was great to see my best friend/cousin Marianne and her son Ethan.

Malachi got passed around quite a bit but was quickly returned to me after people's arms got tired.  

Malachi loved seeing Josh.  He did after all fly all the way to TX to be his "mini-best-man."  Josh would walk by and Malachi would put his arms out for him to hold him.  Poor Josh had to mingle a ton but even if only for a second he held Malachi he never once denied Malachi's cute little requests to be held.  At one point Josh was standing with his back to us but Malachi still recognized him and was patting him on the back to get his attention.

Don't mind my crazy cousin David and his crazy sister Sarah peeking her head in 

(try to find her, it's a fun game).

I enjoyed being able to walk around with my mom and her to see so many people she knew from growing up and high school at Kayla's reception.

There was LOTS of fun dancing.  I stayed way longer than I expected due to some FUN dancing had by all.

(check out Malachi and Josh in their matching PURPLE vans!)

My cousin Cari was the photographer extraordinaire.  I am excited to see her work.  I found this picture (of her husband Brandon) on my camera.  LOVE IT.

 Oh and we can't forget that SARAH surprised everyone and showed up after weeks of no one knowing if she was really going to be able to make it or not.  Turns out she bought her ticket WEEKS ago.  Silly Sarah, tricks are for kids.

The morning of the reception I was able to attend the temple with Kayla and others to be there when she received her endowment.  It was such a wonderful experience to be in the Temple with my side of the family.  Thank you Monica for finding me a sitter for Malachi.
