A long harvest finished up just in time to celebrate Craig's birthday and the marriage of two good friends.
We started our weekend by celebrating Craig's 31st birthday with his favorite meal (Roast, cooked carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and rolls) with his parents and his four favorite girls :). Due to the price of cards the girls opted to color Daddy a sign - I think it was more of a hit with Quinn and Emily than anyone! Then came presents - Emily was extra excited (inwardly) as she got to go with mommy to pick out the present. Emily likes to go shopping with me, she doesn't however, like when the cashier "takes her stuff" so she wasn't overly thrilled when she had to give her daddy's present to the strange lady behind the counter; so when Craig opened the present she had to try it on - after all, she picked it out!
Saturday meant it was wedding day. Our friend and old babysitter is going to cosmetology school near the wedding location so we detoured up there so she could do my hair, it was great to see her, and she did an awesome job! Thanks Taylor!
Then it was time to celebrate. This wedding was the first time in 8.5 years that all of Craig's college roommates (and Kleiss) were in the same place. It was so awesome to see everyone again. Hopefully we don't have to wait so long between the next meeting. Luckily the last of the five roommates gets married this spring. Unfortunately it is the same weekend as Quinn's dance recital, so we may be doing some major juggling that weekend!
Roommates 501 S. Duff - Kyle Shipley, Chris Blome, Matt Dolch, Craig, Dale Sturges
The whole gang with spouses - Allison and Easton and Kyle Shipley, Chris and Abby Blome, Matt Dolch (missing Dana) Sarah and Dale Sturges, Kayln and Adam Kleiss, Craig, Jacque and Paige
It was a beautiful wedding and in true Dale fashion he managed to thoroughly embarrass Craig by getting the DJ to pull him to the middle of the dance floor after the reception and have everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to him. The night was way to short for the amount of catching up we all had to do, but it was wonderful to see everyone and I look forward to the next time.
A huge thank you to my mom who graciously kept the older girls all weekend so we could have an adult weekend. Paige got to come, only because she threw a fit every time my mom tried to hold her, next time :) Oh well, she was a very well behaved baby all weekend (of course mom was holding the whole time so what was there to complain about)
Until next time....
