Utah Recap: Friday

Friday morning started bright and early. Jeff and I ended up having to wake the kids up, which I rarely do, to get them fed before we had to leave to go to the Temple. They were tired from the trip and the previous days activities but happy to get continental breakfast at the Hotel. We got the kids fed and ourselves dressed and ready to go. Our kids stayed in the Hotel and watched t.v with Bryce and Chelsey and Jeff and I rode to the Temple with my parents for the sealing.

 The sealing was really beautiful and reminded me of our wedding. I love being in the Temple with my husband and family. It was a really sweet feeling.
When we came out our kids were there waiting for us. Bryce and Chelsey had taken good care of them and Chelsey even did Adelle's hair since I didn't get to it before we left that morning in a mad dash.

 Then it was pictures, pictures, pictures. The kids were so good during the whole photo shoot and between Lesha, Chelsey, and I we got plenty of our own pictures.

 The happy couple!

 During the down time we took pictures of ourselves and hundreds of our kids.

 Here is Emmett just lounging.

 In between the actual wedding and the reception there was a really nice luncheon at the church that Jessica's family put on for the family and close friends. We ate a really good meal there and watched a slide-show and listened to the parents and Bryce give "speeches." It was really nice and relaxing and fun to share special moments.

After the lucncheon we took the kids back to the Hotel and napped them before the reception that night. The house where the reception was held was so beautiful. It was outside in the backyard and there was a ton of grass and a nice swing set where the kids hung out most of the night. It was fun to meet a lot of Jessica's family and friends and even to see some familiar faces from Washington!!
