Ryan's Homecoming and Krista's Wedding

So, November 21st we all traveled to Salt Lake City airport to welcome Ryan home. Everyone was excited to see him and curious to see how he changed. After the tears and pictures were over at the airport, we went to Chuckarama for lunch.
After eating we all went to the hotel people were staying in so all the kids could go swimming. Once Kade and Brandon decided they wanted to get in the hot tub we went to the mall across the street to get them some trunks. Unfortunately, we did a lot of walking around, going from store to store. Who knew stores stop selling swimsuits in November... We did finally find some. After swimming, we all went to one of the hotel rooms. It didn't take long to get a headache sitting in a small hotel room with six screaming kids and twelve adults arguing about politics... haha family gatherings are the greatest :)

On the 22nd Kade and I stayed in Utah for Krista's wedding. Her wedding was awesome. I was soo happy to get to go to her sealing in the SLC temple. Because we didn't know how long it took to get from Lorrie's house to the temple, we were running late for the sealing. And then we drove around temple square a couple times trying to remember where we were supposed to park. We ended up parking under the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and running to the temple. We made it just in time. I felt better when a guy slipped in the sealing room after the sealer started talking.. haha..
After the sealing we went back to Lehi for the reception. It was at the Northampton house in American Fork. The house was gorgeous! They did a great job, very impressive. I got there early for pictures but nobody was ready. Because I was a bridesmaid, I spent the time when we were supposed to be taking pictures to curl my hair. Too bad it didn't last long.
The reception was awesome, especially when Natalie and I (and our husbands) decorated Krista and Jared's car. I wonder if she knew it was us...
