Easter Morning

The Sunday following Kelly's wedding was Easter. We had fun with an Easter breakfast at our house. After breakfast we had an egg hunt in the back yard. After all the winds we had the night before during the reception, Sunday morning was warm and beautiful! Asher, Jaman and my nephew Joseph had fun finding eggs that the Easter Bunny had left for them.













We were all on hand to watch and help the kids.

Reception time

Kelly has always wanted an outdoor reception, so we asked our Bishop and his wife if they would let us use their backyard. It was a beautiful setting. Even if we had a threat of rain and then that night the wind blew like crazy. Kelly did not even notice the cold or the wind!













We used paper lanterns with flowers as the centerpieces.


















My friends pitched in and helped again...and yummy dessert was served

All in all everything went well, and soon Kelly and Luke were leaving on their honeymoon.

Finally the big day arrives

It seems like it took so long for the day to arrive in some ways and in others the time flew by. But after several trips to Utah for fittings, planning and shopping the big day did finally arrive. The temple Ceremony was beautiful. President Gary Stewart sealed them and yes there were some tears from Mike and I AND Kelly, but they were tears of joy. We were joined by so many family and friends, it was a wonderful day.
