Dancing the night away

So the best part of a wedding is the dancing, right? Addie was too tired (or so I thought), and she almost fell asleep before it started. Soon into it though, she was raring to go, and even found herself "someone special."
It's been a long day!!
It was a treat to dance with Jackson. He thought it was a little awkward.
Here she goes....she's gearing up!
The "face" with Aunt Tara!
Dancing with Mike!
She is all over this!
Yes, Jackson did the splits...he even surprised himself.
Jackson and Mackenzie
Addie and Uncle Ed (she danced with everyone).
Jill, Paul and My mom!
Addison and her friend.
She had such a great time!!!!! (We all did!!)

The wedding....part 2

The venue for their wedding was beautiful, and perfect for kids. There was a lot of space for them to play and run without interrupting the others. There were also some bean bag games set up which was awesome. The kids were allowed to play and didn't have to be silent in their seats, and the parents were able to relax!
I love this picture. Jackson is being very protective of Parker while we wait for one last round of pictures.
Stop and smell the rosemary.
Tara and Bennett.
Tag, you're it! They had a blast...and after sitting in the car for so long, it was nice to let them run.
Sisters!

Jackson took a few breaks to be by himself.

The wedding...part 1

A month ago, we headed to my cousin Alex's wedding. Dave ended up having to stay home because of a work commitment, which was the only bummer of the weekend. It was fun to see all the family, and we even got in a day at the beach with my parents and sister's family. 
Addie took this picture. She's starting to like playing with the camera...although I never totally know what I'm going to get. 
Aunt Bonnie, Aunt Jill and Grandma. 

Addison, Parker and Jackson enjoyed finding all the bugs and spiders that were around.
Bennett and Grandpa H!

Parker before the ceremony. He was really cute with his opinions.
Jackson wasn't so sure he wanted to be there. At this point he just wanted to play a game on the phone.
