Dallan and Jessica's Wedding

After a countdown until we go to Grandma's house that lasted the past week, on Wednesday after school we finally made our big trip up north!  The kids are such good travelers now!  Especially when they get to stop at McDonald's to play halfway through.   Since we waited until after school to leave we arrived later than normal, and the kids were so wound up from sitting so long that they just ran around like crazy.

Thursday was the big day!  Hayden and Kylie got to spend the day with Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete while I went to the Draper Temple for the ceremony.  The kids had tons of fun while I was gone and even got to go to the Trampoline place with Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete like last time we were here!  When I got back we had to go shopping, because I had managed to leave their dress clothes hanging on a door knob at home... oops!  So we drove around to several places finding some cute dress clothes (thank goodness it was Easter time!) and then spent the rest of the afternoon with Grandma Tess playing.

That evening we went to Dallan and Jessica's reception.  The kids were super excited for pizza, doughnuts and cookies like they had at Kendra and Jake's wedding.  Well, they were sorely disappointed!!  The reception was beautiful and elegant, with Belgian waffles and crepes to snack on.  My kids were practically moved to tears and Hayden kept saying 'something else.'  Luckily they found a friend to play with to help ease the pain of no pizza (even though I know they had pizza for lunch with Grandma Tess earlier!).




We left earlier so Kylie and Hayden wouldn't be underfoot for the rest of the festivities and I picked them up something to eat on the way home to satisfy their picky tummies!

Friday we played hard at the Museum of Ancient Life with Grandma Shari, Aunt Chantel and Uncle McKay!  Kylie and Hayden loved the sand areas the best!



Saturday was rainy, so we went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity  where the kids had a blast.  They especially liked the little animal exhibit where they got to pet an iguana, a hedgehog, a snake, and frog!  So cool!





That evening Kylie and Hayden got to play with Uncle Jake and Grandma Shari while I went out with the girls to see the new Beauty and the Beast.  We came home in a huge snow storm!! It was crazy!  The next morning there was tons of snow everywhere and we had to scrape the cars off to drive to church.  Kylie and Hayden were in heaven, though.  They love snow and wanted to stay outside eating it forever.  After church we headed home after a quick pitstop to say goodbye to Grandma Tess.  They both slept nearly the entire way, so I didn't stop!

Thanks everyone for a fun weekend and we are glad we got to celebrate with Uncle Dallan and our new Aunt Jessica!!
