Matt and Heidi's Wedding

Last weekend, we went on whirlwind weekend trip to NC to attend Matt and Heidi's wedding. Chris and Anya both had important jobs: Chris officiated and Anya was the ring bearer.

This was a special trip for a few reasons: 1) the wedding and 2) because we hadn't seen family in awhile and this was the first time all of my siblings/step-siblings (on my dad's side) and our children were together. It's the first time we met Leo, Oliver and Bennett, and baby Leslie.

We stayed over at Don, Koby and Alivia's Friday. Anya and Alivia were so happy to see each other after 2 years and they were instantly buddies again .

 Saturday, wedding day, went pretty smoothly. Chris and Anya did their jobs well and the wedding was lovely.

After the reception, all the kids (plus Dad and Angie)  headed over to Don and Koby's for more visiting and a family play date. Matt and Heidi eventually came by as well, but sadly, the littlest ones had to go to bed and they missed the visit. It was great to see everyone that was there.

The next morning, we got up early and headed to the airport. Look who we ran into there! Their flight to their honeymoon cruise took off at the same time as ours, so we all visited for awhile over (a terrible) breakfast until we had to part ways.

We can't wait until July when everyone gets together again for a much longer visit.
