Going to the Chapel...

I never had a little sister. I wanted one badly, but even after praying for a baby sister, we got Jon. It was ok, however, because I had the cutest little girl cousins ever. Katee, Lauren, Alexa, Makenzie, and sometimes Christine (from my Dad's side of the family), were my little girls to dress up, dance with, and put on programs with. They were always so willing to do as I asked and I loved every minute of it. Well, now they aren't so little anymore. Christine got married a few years ago, and this past summer, Katee, Lauren and Alexa got married. We had so much fun with all of the wedding planning, showers, and celebrating! I feel awful that I didn't get pictures at any of them other than Katee's, but one is better than none...
Waiting for Katee and Kyle to come out of the temple, my kids explored the beautiful grounds and flowers.  I took advantage of the moment and took a few pictures...
Capri was practicing cartwheels (her new obsession), and ballet arabesques. I made her stop for just a second...
Roman was such a trooper for some reason. Usually he hates getting his picture taken, but this is one of my favorites!
Karoline had Shirley Temple hair that day! I put sponge curlers in the night before and her hair curled amazingly well...almost too well. We tried our best to relax the curls a bit, but she looked so cute nonetheless!
My mom and dad helped me out because Tucker had to go back to work.  Capri was more than happy to stop to get a picture with Grandma, one of her favorite people in the world.
 Koko was in heaven with the countless flowers and open green lawn...
And here is the beautiful couple! Katee looked absolutely gorgeous and her dress was absolutely amazing. They went to kiss...
And Roman did this...
He really didn't want to see them kiss! He said EEWWW and turned around. I was dying!
Here is Cheri and I-we were totally matching!
 The wedding reception was held at Julie's house and it was incredible. It was truly a dream wedding. White tables and chairs, dance floor, bistro lights, hanging lanterns, trees covered in white lights, a 5 tier cake, and lots and lots of dancing. Loved. It.
How cute is Cheri and her darling little London:
And let the dancing begin! Karoline was definitely a hit at this party as she danced her little heart out.
They had a great buffet but Roman's favorite part was the ice cream bar. Look how handsome this boy is!
Here are some videos to show my kids ripping it up on the dance floor! The first shows Karoline and I have to mention the fact that the man she was dancing with towards the end of the video was a big guy with long hair and a long white beard. No judgements there!
