Wedding

Ella holding her baby cousin Brody, she loved him!

Eva at the Cubs game!

Evan and I brought the girls to the mall on Thursday because they needed to run around and play since they were stuck in the car the day before and it was too cold to play outside. They had fun!

Still dancing, they had such a good time!

Somethings funny, not sure what but its a cute pic!

The only pic we got with Grandma and her girls, She got a few more and so did Auntie Alana.

Ready to go down to the reception; all glammed up!

Swimming, the best part about staying in a hotel.

The boys in the wedding party; half groomsmen and half ushers. They all got college sports hats that had a story behind it, Evan got OSU.

The pics are going to be out of order now due to pics from my phone and pics from the camera. I could spend the time moving them around but I think we all can figure it out with the captions and it already takes plenty of time uploading all the photos. Anyways, we had a wonderful time in Minneapolis with Auntie Alana and Uncle Jon and their new baby Brody and at Evan's best friend Steve's wedding. We traveled home on Wednesday, leaving around 6am so we could be in Chicago at 1pm for the Cubs game. We stayed for about 3 hours and then drove the rest of the way to Uncle Jon's. We all had a great time at the last Cubs game of the year, we got 3 autographed baseballs, free cotton candy, plenty of stickers, and had great seats. It was so nice to spend time out of the car, it really broke up our day. Thursday we relaxed and tried to rest up for the rest of the weekend. Friday we left for Grand Rapids around 1pm so Evan could make the rehearsal at 5pm. Grandma and Grandpa met us there around 6:30pm so they could watch the kiddos while I met Evan for the rehearsal dinner and Jon and Alana could meet us later for drinks. Grandma and Grandpa were in heaven with their 3 angels. They had a lot of fun and probably still feel their love now because I'm sure they are exhausted from the weekend. We kept them up late at night and they agreed to let Eva sleep with them both nights. The girls enjoyed every minute of it and are telling their friends and the bus driver that they got to stay in a hotel with their grandma and grandpa. :o) The pool area was a hit, a huge pool and hot tub, 2 slides, 1 babypool. We left Sunday from the hotel after saying our goodbyes to grandma and grandpa :o(  and stayed the evening and night at Uncle Jon's again. I think they are probably super happy to have some quiet time, life with 2 older kids is a bit crazier that life with a newborn, in different ways I guess! We appreciated them having us! We left around 9am on Monday and drove the entire way back home, got home around12am. Yep it was a long day but all worth the drive. And did I mention it snowed on Friday, I could not believe it! It's nice to be home to warmer weather.
