Angel's Wedding

This past weekend we went down to Lafayette for a wedding for Dan’s sister, Angel. Dan’s brother, Spencer, and his family were able to come down from Arizona for the wedding as well. It was nice to visit with family we don’t get to see all the time. We got into Lafayette Friday night and stayed the weekend in a hotel with Spencer and Kristen and their two kids, Abby and Aidan. The second they got there Dan was off playing with Abby and Aidan and never stopped. I don’t think any of the adults even really got a chance to visit with him this weekend because he was busy enjoying playing with the two of them. Aidan has gotten really, really talkative since the last time we saw him and always had something to say. He called Dan, “Uncle”, the entire weekend. He was constantly saying, “Hey Uncle, look at this!” or “Hey Uncle, are these your shoes??” It was really cute, I think we all heard the word uncle at least a thousand times. We are all wondering what he will do when we are in Utah for Christmas in a month and he all of a sudden has 5 uncles. He has never called any of them anything before so it will be interesting to see if “Uncle” sticks for Dan.

The wedding was not until 6 pm Saturday night so we had a full day to just relax and hang out in the meantime. We went shopping, out to eat, and saw Madagascar 2. Dan and I have seen the movie twice now and we both thought it was really cute. Dan absolutely loved it, he was laughing harder than anyone else in the theater.

Aidan sleeping through a portion of the wedding. We all laid down to take a "nap" after lunch before the wedding in hopes he would take one so he wouldn't be grumpy all night. We all ended up falling asleep while Aidan played by himself for the afternoon.

Abby dancing with her dad in her pretty princess dress.

Dan dancing the girl's hearts away. Somehow he ended up spending a portion of the night twirling with all the little girls on the dance floor.

The remainder of the night he was busy eating and eating and eating with his Dad.

Aidan after he woke up from a much needed nap.

Dan dancing with his step mom, Donna.

I stole him away from all the little girls and food for a minute to dance with him as well.

Dolores asked me to get a pictures of my shoes...this isn't the best picture but you can at least tell I am wearing red high heels.



This is what I made Angel for her wedding gift. She had asked me to make it to go above her bed.

Sunday we hung out with all the family at Paul and Donna's house eating wedding leftovers. Dan and Paul spent the afternoon playing with all the kids outside while the rest of us visited inside. It was a lot of fun. Dan was so exhausted after that though that he ended up taking a 3.5 hour nap. We were supposed to leave in the late afternoon to head home but ended up staying longer so he would have enough energy to drive home! Plus, I didn't mind visiting for a little longer. We left around 8:30 and got home close to midnight while I slept most of the way home so I wouldn't be a walking zombie at work the next day.
