Wedding Weekend Bliss

We have been so busy lately!  It seems November is the busiest month of all but we've enjoyed every bit so far.  This past weekend two of our very good friends got married and the wedding festivities began last Thursday - with Mackenzie's bachelorette party!  It started at The Cheesecake Factory for dinner and ended dessert and fun at Emily's home.  We had so much fun celebrating Mackenzie and getting her ready for her wedding!

Having fun!

Mackenzie and Kristin playing speed to see if she can open her presents or not!  Turns out Mackenzie was really good at speed! :)

Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at Jack Stack's Private Dining Facility in south KC but unfortunately I didn't take any pictures that night.  :(  It was so busy and there were a lot of people there but the food was so delicious and the company was delightful.  We hadn't been to a rehearsal dinner since our own and it was really neat to hear our dear friends being honored by close friends and family.

Saturday was wedding day!  I cleaned house Saturday morning and Jay and I got out our Christmas decorations so that they could be up after we got home.  Heather came over around 2 so that we could get ready together.  Mackenzie put us in charge of the guest book and cake so we needed to be prepared early!  I didn't take too many pictures at the wedding or reception because we were busy helping out and catching up with friends but it was a wonderful ceremony and a super fun reception!

Done serving cake... phew!  Tough job but we got it done! :)

So good to see the Looloians again!

Sending them off!  Have fun!! :)

Sunday morning after church I had made plans to see the new Twilight movie with Rachel!  We had so much fun together - Rachel made us turkey sandwiches and I got us some candy at QT!  It was a great movie and the company was even better!  Can't wait for Part 2, Rach!

After the movie Jay and I finished getting our home ready for Christmas!  

This was literally the first tree we saw - it was perfect!!

The hanging glass ornaments are new this year!  The "hanger" was a gift from Mackenzie and I've finally put it to good decorative use.  Thanks, Kenz!

We can't believe another year is coming to an end but we are so looking forward to Thanksgiving in Little Rock and spending some quality time with family.  Glad it's a short week, but we are thankful for jobs!
