Weddings!

Some of my very dearest friends have married in recent weeks. And another is getting married in October. I'm so happy for all of them, and I'm loving watching them settle into their cozy little newly-wed homes and start their families. :)

Meanwhile, I hug my remaining single friends a little tighter, and wonder who's next...

Ah, yes... The pictures?
Well, Ruth usually documents every wedding we attend with a few hundred pictures. But... Unfortunately, the camera batteries died at Aneysa's wedding, and Liz was sick, so at the last minute my sisters didn't get to attend Allison's wedding. Thus, I'm waiting for generous friends to share their wedding pictures with me.

I'll post a few (and a better tribute to my married friends) whenever I get them!

New Year's Day

As I posted earlier, we attended a wedding on New Year's Eve. We also attended a wedding on New Year's Day in the midst of our preparation for hosting our annual New Year's Party at our house that evening.

New Year's Party!

Unfortunately, we didn't get any good group picture of every one together at the party... but the house was stuffed! None of these pictures accurately depict how many people there were.
I hope none of the guests were prone to claustrophobia!

A lively game of spoons was enjoyed by many, once the crowd thinned out a bit!
