The Knot is Tied!

This weekend, we traveled to the ATL to celebrate my little brother's wedding weekend! We were fortunate enough to have my wonderful mother-in-law go with us so that we could participate in the many wedding festivities and know the children were in good hands when they couldn't be there with us.

As soon as we checked in, our children were pretty happy! Carter received a kids' club backpack with several fun things; his favorite of which was a rubber ducky.

Callen was pretty excited with the set up that they had for her.
Before too long, we were headed off to the rehearsal dinner to enjoy a wonderful meal, lots of reminiscing and even more laughs.

I would like to call your attention to the smile on my brother's face in the picture above. I am pretty sure that I never saw his face without it ALL. WEEKEND. He was so happy! Just what you want for your brother on his wedding day/weekend!

The actual wedding day started out for us with a trip to the Georgia Aquar.ium. From there, we headed to a wonderful wedding day brunch and then back to our hotel for naps and getting ready for the wedding.

Nick and I went by ourselves to the actual wedding, which was absolutely beautiful. Then, we picked up the kiddos and Debbie and headed to the reception.

Now, this next picture requires some lead-in. Carter was really excited about going to the reception, and I had told him that he would be able to have a piece of the wedding cake. Well, the cake was the first thing that you saw when you walked in, so of course it was on his mind the whole time he was there. Unfortunately, he and Callen were tired before Steve and Emily cut the cake, so they went back to the hotel; Carter not having had his piece of cake and being terribly upset about it. So, after they cut the cake, my dad helped me secure a piece to bring home to Carter. The picture below is of him enjoying his long-awaited piece of Em and Steve's yummy cake!

Congratulations to Aunt Emily & Uncle Steve! Lots of wishes for a lifetime of happiness!
