i don't take credit- i came across this on pinterest.

in the past i have been judged as being a "holier than thou Christian."

this explains my feelings better than anything.

jr x2 reception

our reception was planned to be as casual as possible, and people to just have fun!

i think we succeeded.

peole enjoyed the lake, maybe even a few braved the water?

at least with their toes.

friends mixed with family, family mixed with family.

we had a huge bbq served around one, home-made ice cream & toppings bar around 3.

everyone left full!!

mima with alllll the family!!!

mima with all the grand & great- grandkids

i offered to catch him & then promptly kill him if he fell & ruined our party.

want to know what i do with him when he won't take a normal picture?

ohhhhhh finally.

there were SO many people that we did not get pictures with, ultimate fail!

we got so busy just talking & trying to spend time with everyone.

good excuse to do it again?

we love each & every one of you that came out and shared your holiday with us, and even those of you who didn't.
