52 Blessing's Project-Week 2

The thing I'm grateful for this week goes right along with what happened last Friday. Dave's sister Deanna got married so I'm thankful for WEDDINGS!! It was so exciting to be there and witness this happy occasion! I really do love weddings, and there is nothing better than a Temple wedding! I love to go and be reminded of the special blessings we get from being sealed to our spouse for time and all eternity!! It was wonderful!!
All the nieces and nephews couldn't wait to see the happy couple. They kept standing by the door waiting for them to come out.
And they finally did! I love this picture of Deanna and Ryan with all the kids. We kept teasing them that this is what their family picture was going to look like in 10 years!!
They were so happy, and couldn't stop smiling!! (Which was a good thing, since they had to pose for a million pictures that day :)
We even got a family shot. Usually our family shots are in casual clothes, so it was fun to have one of us all dressed up. It is a hard thing to get everyone looking forward, but we did it. (Now if we could only get Kyle to smile for pictures. :)
And of course the kids were more than happy to let loose and be silly. I thought it was funny how Kyle is FINALLY smiling in a picture. I guess he just is more happy when he can be himself. It was a great day, and we're happy to have Ryan in the family. Congrats to you both!!
