California....The Blessing & The Wedding

When we arrived in California I was able to spend the whole afternoon shopping with Rachael (with no kids!)  It was awesome.  I'm glad she turned the car around and came back to get me.  Then we had a great night at my house with family and friends, blessing Alice.  The weather was so nice we were able to do it outside.  The blessing went great.  I'm so happy Gerrit is able to give my family Priesthood blessings.  We ate yummy Marie Calendars pie after.  Thanks Wendi!

 Cute grandparents
The next morning Gerrit took all the girls to visit his Grandma and Grandpa in Escondido.  I stayed behind to help decorate for the wedding.  He had a great visit with his Grandparents and headed home for the pre wedding dinner at a cute little place in the canyon.  My mom picked it out and it was the perfect place.  It was decorated so cute and the food was good (when it finally came) it's OK it took awhile though.  We had fun visited and getting excited for the upcoming events.













Back at home we were doing a lot of setting up and decorating.  The wedding was held at the Suman's next door and the party was at our house.  Both houses looked beautiful.  Great team work.
The Wedding

Delilah and Savanna were flower girls.  Kate helped them not get lost.

Here comes the bride
Chloë and Ellie held Adrian's train.  Then they stood at the altar half the ceremony.  HA HA. We were all trying to get their attention but they are in their own world when they are together.
