A Family Affair



We have wanted to go up to Afton for some time now. But have not been able to because my parents have literally come down to SLC every weekend for the last couple months. This particular Saturday they came down for my cousins reception. But before we went to that we all went out to eat and since we were only missing half of our cousins, we decided we'd better get a picture. Little Austyn is in this picture at one week old. My brother and sister-in law have the other five cousins in Virginia. We miss you Paul and Sarah. Natalie and Isabelle are only two and a half weeks apart. Such cute little girls.
Jacqueline was making her dad a but nervous holding Natalie the way she did. But Natalie loved the attention.
We had the tastiest cupcakes and such a lovely ice cream bar with fresh berries. So good. It was hot but not unbearable. They had american flags on all the neighbors lawns on the way to the reception. Brandon had to report for duty that morning. Our prayers are with you Brandon, be safe.
Such a beautiful couple. I don't think anyone would be able to guess you pulled it all together in 3 weeks!
This is my beautiful sister Christy.
And Emily holding Natalie, carefully placing the cupcake wrapper on her head for a crown. Natalie was unusually tolerant of being held by everyone this night. It was a great break for me. Natalie really is a happy baby but she likes having mom hold her.
