Ella's Thanksgiving Feast

Ella got to wear our sweet friend, Lexie Thompson's, indian costume from about 18 years ago! It was absolutely adorable!
I had Port's Thanksgiving feast at the same time as Ella's party. Lolli helped me out by going to Ella's party and taking pictures for me. Ella had a great time!
Our cute little Indian Princess!
Ella's favorite Uncle Jade and Crew:-)
(Jade really loves Ella and she really likes to play hard to get with him!) Ella and Crew go to music school together. Every day I pick Ella up she says, "I play with Crew!" Love these two!

Rest time...

After a long weekend the kids needed some rest time. We made them a pallet on the floor and they got to watch Cinderella. Great end to a fun weekend!

Thanksgiving Sunday

Poppy and the Great-Grandkids
We played a game where you had to play a song on an instrument and everyone had to guess the song. Port was one of the first volunteers...
They were all Christmas songs...which my kids LOVED!
The Benton's joined us too! We weren't sure if they were going to get to celebrate Thanksgiving with family since they are waiting on Baby Benton to come anytime. We welcomed Alex into the family by forcing him to participate in our games...thanks!
Whitney came too!
I made a pumpkin cheesecake for my dessert in our pic contest. I ended up getting runner up...pretty good on my first cheesecake!

The reception...

They had a fun candy table as your party favor...my kids LOVED it! Haynes and Ella left a little early with Lolli and Champ. Port decided he wanted to stay with Mom and Dad:-)
It quickly turned into dancing time and this was Port checking everything out. He really enjoyed watching everything before he decided to participate.
Port and Daddy...
We only made it until 11:00. Pretty impressive for a 5 year old:-)
Port and Mommy dancing!
The reception was so fun! These are some of the RoCkStAr dancers from our house church. Love you girls! (Laura was a little busy, so we didn't get her in the pic)

Wedding Day!

Beautiful wedding party!
Laura and the boys!
Oh how I love this picture!!!
We got them to smile by saying "WAGS!"
Cute boys...
Yes we had only been there 10 minutes and check out those dirty pants:-)
These cute kids waiting SO patiently for their important job. They did the best job walking down a LONG isle. It was a beautiful ceremony! (Lolli and Champ caught them at the end and took them to wait outside during the ceremony)

Playtime...

Josh and Laura got the boys some new legos...they LOVE them!
The kids have still not really adjusted to the time change, so they are up quite early...Lolli let the boys help make pies for thanksgiving.
Port's was beautiful! He ended up getting 2nd in the competition!
Haynes was great too! He tied for second too:-)

Rehearsal Dinner

The rehearsal dinner was at the Bricktown Brewery. We had a great time celebrating Josh and Laura with all our friends.
We did take a lot of pictures, but this is all I had...sorry girls!
These boys were in rare form:-)
