♪ Here Comes the Bride ♪

My little brother Chris was married this past week... YAY! They were sealed in the beautiful Draper Temple.

Her dress was absolutely gorgeous!

Isn't this a handsome bunch of boys?
Cutest wedding shoes ever!

My little bro couldn't resist jumping into my arms for a photo op!
Didn't she make a beautiful bride?

I helped Karen make these activity booklets for the kids to keep them busy during the family luncheon that was held after the ceremony. At the end of the luncheon, Chris and Karen passed out these darling favors to the family... they included Chris' favorite food in the world - gummy frogs!
A wedding just isn't complete without a little trashing of the bride and grooms car! Chris' buddies from work did the honors!












After the wedding, Chris and Karen went off to start their honeymoon at our family's condo up in Midway. My mom and I left these little surprises for them! We love Chris' new bride Karen and we're all so excited for the happy couple!

Last Saturday, James' Dad got re-married! We're excited for the happy couple and we can't wait to get to know Sherry and welcome her into our family.

These are the centerpieces that Sherry asked me to make for her "autumn" themed wedding luncheon.
This is our cute nephew Curtis posing for the camera at his Grandpy's wedding... he looks darling in this pic so I just had to include it with this blog post!

Love Is Sweet

Any excuse to throw a party and I get so excited! I love party planning and I think that I must have been a party planner in another life! My little brother Chris is getting married on November 11th and I wanted to throw a bridal shower for my cute soon-to-be sis, Karen. For party favors, the guests filled their own treat bags.

The sign next to the treat jars said:

LOVE is SWEET please take a TREAT!

My mom helped me to throw this shower and we had a blast color coordinating all of the yummy food! We made yummy sparkling lemonade and even decorated the water bottles! I decorated our dining room chandelier to match our theme and designed the food table around it. We loved our cupcake centerpiece!
As guests were either coming or going, we asked them to take a minute and write Karen a little note - just another fun way to personalize the shower!
This is cute Karen! I'm so excited for her to join our family and I hope she had fun at her shower!
