Two Birthdays and a Wedding

Last weekend was a weekend of celebration. Our dear Audrey Bea turned 3! The following day my dad turned 56 AND my lovely sister-in-law was married. The weather was fantastic. We were able to spend time with family, and see relatives we don't see often enough. It was a beautiful weekend!

We took Audrey out for a little birthday treat...gelato from a favorite coffee shop.

She loved it....chocolate mint.

Make a wish!

And blow those candles out quick before brother and sister do.

Audrey's big gift from us was a quilt. I was able to make it in secret, so it was a complete surprise.

After the rehearsal dinner (all 3 kids were in the wedding), Mummi Alice threw Audrey a birthday party, complete with homemade chocolate cake, party hats, noisemakers, and lots of relatives.

Happy girl.

We were able to take Grandpa Bob out for birthday breakfast to celebrate his big day.

This fancy lady put her gloves on before the wedding and did not take them off til midnight.

William is smooth....

Darin dancing with Nora.

This is Nora's new way to smile. Complete cheese.

The kids were so excited to dance with Auntie Jude. And how could you blame them, she is a fine dancer!

Shake it.

(These are out of order). The ride from the church to the reception resulted in this. A little 'reset.'

Except Nora was not about to rest. She had things to giggle about instead!

Nora didn't actually end up walking down the aisle with the other 2 flower girls, but she sure looked cute!

Handsome William took his job as ring bearer very seriously.

Waiting for family pictures.

Audrey was darling and held the other flower girl's hand walking down the aisle. She was so thrilled about the 'princess dress' and gloves.

Our best shot at a family picture.

Marjia looked stunning! Here is a picture of the new Mr. and Mrs. Jorgenson. We wish them a long life together filled with health and happiness!
