Krista's Wedding

Krista (Mikes sister) got married to Jon Miller yesterday in the St. George Temple. It was quite the weekend. She went through the temple on Thursday- Mike went to the session. Friday we helped set up for the reception and then I stayed for a bridal dinner/shower. I had to leave early for my show, but the part I stayed for was very nice. On Saturday they were married in the morning. We had planned on leaving the kids with a babysitter, but Krista wanted the kids there for the pictures, so I ended up staying home so I could get the kids ready and Mike went to the ceremony. We took pictures at the temple and then went home. We skipped the lunch/dinner because we knew the kids would never last if we tried to do everything, and then went to the church for pictures at 5:30. Anna wore a pink dress with white lace over the top and the boys wore their matching Easter clothes. I did Anna's hair in curls- she looked so cute! She felt like a princess- especially when we were at the temple. Mike helped with the music, I just did little things here and there, and Ty and Anna ran around the church with new found friends. They were so happy to have the kids to play with. It made me think of when I was a kid running around with friends during events that required all the adults to be "boring" and playing on the stage and in the church classrooms. For the first part, however, Ty and Anna watched with growing anticipation as the food was prepared (they had a chocolate fountain with a lot of goodies). Needless to say, when the food line opened, my kids were first in line. Brayden was on the move the whole time and only got sad toward the end. We thought they did pretty good considering they usually go to bed at 8 and were up until 10. We helped clean up and then came home and crashed. Krista looked very pretty and I'm sure she's very happy. The kids don't know Jon very well, but they think it's great that they have a new uncle. Anyway, there's a short rundown of the weekend. Wish I had some pictures. If I get any from those who had cameras, I'll be sure to post them.
