Another event-filled weekend

It has been several years since the entire Smith clan has been all together at the same time under the same roof. This occasion was for Sarah's wedding. I took Friday off from work and went down Thursday night.

It was quite chaotic considering there were nine siblings + their spouses + their kids + 1 foreign exchange student + 1 cousin + his daughter, all trying to get ready at the same time.

Everything turned out well though. The only minor glitch I noticed was that the flower girl (Luke's daughter) refused to throw out the petals from her basket. She cried when Liz picked her up and started spreading the flowers out from the basket for her.

In this picture are Shelli, Emma and you can barely see Sara in the background there



Sara and Uncle Wayne . . .


















The ceremony was performed in Weston's parents' back yard. It was a very nice setting, except it was very hot! We all survived though. The luncheon was excellent. I had to leave before the reception party that night, but everyone was well occupied for the whole afternoon.









The bishop, Sara, Weston, Luke, and... Kyler? I can never remember!!!

The happy family
