Family, the more the merrier

A few weeks ago, my brother and sisters and I traveled back home to attend the wedding of Bev's niece, Alicia.  Since Bev is married to my Dad, does that make us cousins???  I'm not sure what the official legal relationship is... but who cares?  

Family is family.

It felt nice to be included on such a special occasion.
The wedding was beautiful... full of personal touches and sincere happiness.
Alicia is so creative and talented that it is no mystery we are related by marriage!

Since the wedding took place near my hometown, it wasn't a surprise to learn we knew the photographer from years ago.  He was nice enough to gather our immediate family for a picture.

Abby and George had a great time at the wedding.

Abby found several little girls to play with...

In fact, she had such a good time running around and playing in the rocks that I'm not sure her shoes will make it to the 'hand me down' bin :)

George had a good time, too.  He was the one who puked on the floor causing a delay for the wedding party to join the reception.  Sorry Alicia and Mason, however he did have to much (milk) to drink!  He also really enjoyed the Hershey Kisses on the tables!

We wish Alicia and Mason a lifetime of happiness, and hope for some playmates for Abby and George!
