My Sister's Wedding!

I have been such a slacker when it comes to blogging, but I could not wait to post pictures of Kelli's and Thomas' wedding weekend! Especially for those of you who could not celebrate with us! Unfortunately, I have only a few from the wedding because it was so hectic that day getting ready. Early Thursday morning my mom, Kelli, Peyton and I headed to Dana Point, CA! Peyton was such a trooper when it came to the drive! It's difficult keeping a toddler in a carseat for so long, but we took as many breaks as we could to let her run around. We loaded up with snacks and whether it was my mom's ipad, my ipod, or my sisters iphone, she was pretty content! She was so tired and over due for her morning nap and finally fell asleep before she even finished her cracker! When Kenny and Thomas got in on Friday we walked Peyton down to the beach. Luckily she didn't care too much for the water because it was freezing and really wanted nothing to do with anything but the sand! We saw some of the prettiest flowers on our way down! I thought this was such a neat picture! Maybe if she would have been looking down at the camera, but the sky looks so pretty!Looking for seashells!She found a stick to draw with!She wrote this with her stick ;)We also saw some dolphins and I barely caught one of them with my camera! Can you see it? We went to dinner Friday night with all the ladies! I had the BEST meal...I think seafood is probably my favorite especially after I had this! It had green-lipped mussels, scallions, calamari, shrimp, and something else, but I can't remember...served on top of linguini pasta! They had a marinara sauce to cover it, but I asked if they had a white sauce. I actually didn't even need sauce because this dish had so much flavor already! I also had some of my moms stuffed salmon! Yummm!!! I LOVE FOOD!!! Here was our view of the sunset when we were at dinner! Kelli's wedding gift from my parents! Kelli loves those "little blue boxes":) I think every morning we woke up, this is what the weather looked like and the sun would come out a little later. Except Saturday, it was overcast pretty much all day.Here was where they got married...It is definitely not the best shot because it's far away, but it's a little courtyard overlooking the ocean! It was GORGEOUS! I can't wait until she gets her pictures back and I will have definitely post them!The groom and his men! Showing off their cool kicks. Kelli left Thomas to pick their shoes out and he chose shiny, patent, leather Chucks with red trim on the inside. They were all pretty proud of them! By the time we were taking pictures of the bridal party the sun came out, but the wind made it a little chilly still! While Kelli and Thomas were taking pictures I had a chance to take a few of me and Kenny! I wanted to take one sitting on this rock with Kenny, but right when Hailey took the picture a wave came up! We were laughing so hard!I could not get my camera to focus right at night, without the flash so it's fuzzy, but this was our view from Cannon's Restaurant where the reception was. Here was a better view before sunset, but it was too bright to show me and P. She wasn't throwing a fit...she just wanted to lay down apparently.She did such a great job as the flower girl! When we arrived in the limo we were planning on Peyton walking down with me and Kenny, but then we decided to let her walk behind us because she would have been fine if she saw me at the end of the aisle. She got a little sidetracked and walked halfway down, then turned around then came back and somehow ended up behind My parents and Kelli walking down. She sat with my parents and was great during the ceremony!
