Crazy Week

After we returned to Snowflake things were so busy. I had started a scrapbook of my brother a couple of weeks before we left and most of the week we were there I was scrap booking. In between all of that was of course last min. preparation including, baking cakes and table preperations for the rehearsal dinner along with chatting and having family come into town. Chris was amazing and was truly a stud. He was so understanding with all of the stuff going on. He pretty much played the role of Mr. Mom the whole week while us ladies were running around with our heads cut off. I am so grateful for a wonderful husband. I love you babe!! I finally finished the scrapbook on Thursday morning right before the rehearsal dinner.
The dinner was great Hayden loved practicing to be the ring bearer. He loved hanging out with little Jayde, he kept saying that it wan not fair that Kera and Paul were the only ones that would get to kiss. He thought he would be marring Jayde since he got to walk her down the aisle. Each table got to say something that they knew or remembered about Kera of Paul. I was so emotional that I had to have Chris do it for me. He did great with a story of him and Paul involving a golfing and a hard hit from a ball.


After the dinner My Aunt Deb, Mom and I stayed to help finish up the decorations for the big day to follow. Before Chris took the kids home for bed we could not find Alyssa anywhere and I started to really panic. I started looking down basement window wells and crying. Alec was with me and he kept saying why are you scared mom? I tried to use the moment as a teaching tool to show Alec how important it is to always be by Mom and Dad. We did find Alyssa of course she had been playing on the stage the whole time behind all the greenery where we could not see her. Boy was that something I will never forget.
