Weekend In Review: Celebrating With Whitney!

This weekend has been super busy but full so much fun! The whole week has been filled with times to be together and making fun memories! It started on Tuesday with a little surprise Girls Night Out for Whitney with some good friends and family.

Then Friday night everyone met for dinner and fun at Rob and Whitney's new house. It was delightful, their backyard is beautiful and a PERECT place for a garden party, and that's what we had, white tent, croquette and all! Rob's brother in law cooked Thai food and all I can say is IT.WAS.DELISH!! Truly, it was so tastey I went back for seconds, then had a portion of Adam's too! And our little eater, Emerson, ate about 9 or so egg rolls and crab ragoons, they.were.AMAZING! We got to enjoy seeing a video set to music of pictures from their wedding day, the location (the wine country in CA) looks amazing; Adam and I look forward to celebrating our 10 years of marriage out there this summer!

Saturday morning brought with it time to hang out with family and their kiddos. It was fun catching up with my cousins, Lindsey and Kim and their families! We have quite the brood now, with 7 kids 10 years old and under. The weather was a perfect spring day, and the boys enjoyed wrestling on the trampoline and just playing outside. We had a quick bite of lunch together then we were off for nap time and getting ready for the wedding reception.

Whitney and Rob celebrated their wedding with a host of friends and family at Trapnall Hall in Downtown Little Rock. It was a fantastic day for a wedding reception, it was truly spring time at its finest! They are dearly loved by many, and people flew and drove in from all different places, from Seattle to California, Nebraska to all corners of the state of Arkansas, we had a good time celebrating and wish God's richest blessings upon them! I love my sister deeply and am thrilled to see her so happy! She was (and is) a beautiful bride; congratulations to the happy couple!!

I can't wait to see all the pictures that the photographer took...these are just a few of the ones that I was able to get while watching the kids and trying to mingle!

Today we all met at my parents house for brunch before people had to get on the road or fly back home. It's nice to be with family and to hang out at such occasions as this; wish we didn't live so far apart! Thanks Mom and Dad for all you did, everything was lovely, and Whitney and Rob, thanks for letting us be apart of your special day!
