Ben & Anna are Wed!

This past weekend was such a special time for our family as we rejoiced and celebrated with Ben & Anna as they started their life together as husband and wife. Not only was it a wonderful time of fellowship as a family, but we also had a fun time making new friends and enjoying the people in Anna's life.

Curling Caroline's hair the morning of the wedding after I had burnt an iron imprint in the back of my bridesmaid dress...yes, I panicked! :) Nobody noticed the mark though...at least I don't think they did. :)

Our lifesaver this weekend, Jason's mom, Yvonne. She helped us with the kids and we couldn't have done it without her. She saved the sanity of many of us by helping out! The kids loved having her there too! She fit right into the family!

Anna and Ben were so precious when they said good-byes to their parents. They both cried tears of joy and thankfulness as they hugged all four parents telling them how much they were thankful for all they had done for this magical day.
