Allie's wedding- Part 3

Saturday, we were put to work getting everything finished in time for the reception. We spent the morning cutting all the food that we would be having later. We were paid in donuts so Matt and I didn't complain. Things started getting crazy around 3,because my mom was remembering all the last minute things we still had to do. We didn't get ready to go before we left for the reception site,because we thought we would set up and then go get ready at a hotel my mom had reserved for the night,but everyone got lost on their way over and the lady who owned the site had the reception times wrong,so we had less time then we had planned on. We quickly rushed to get everything ready and got really sweaty. We got ready as best we could and enjoyed the evening. We served paninis and they were so tasty.  It was a beautiful venue and Allie and Trevor looked really happy. It was a great night celebrating the newlyweds!

                                         

                            

                           

Sunday was our last full day in Texas and also Matt's 26th birthday! Matt and I got to stay in the hotel that my mom got for the wedding and it was a nice birthday present. The hotel breakfast had biscuits and gravy which is Matt's favorite, so he was happy! After checking out we went to church and said goodbye to people. We were so exhausted from all the wedding stuff we had done the last few days,so it was nice to just relax at home. Everyone decided to take naps except for my nephews so Matt and I spent the afternoon swimming and watching them.  It was a cloudy day so I didn't think about putting sun screen on except towards the end of the day. And while I was putting sun screen on my 3 year old nephew he decided he wanted to put sunscreen on me. Needless to say I got super burnt and learned that I probably shouldn't let a 3 year apply my sunscreen for me. HA!

Later that night we had meatloaf for Matt's birthday dinner and leftover wedding cake repurposed as birthday cake! Tucker was concerned that Matt didn't get a lot of presents, so he quickly reminded him of his gift by saying," Don't forget about my birthday present", and then he whispered "SWIMMING!" Matt said that was exactly what he wanted , tucker time! After the family party we went to stay at my sister Jessi's house,because she lives closer to the airport and we had a super early flight.  I invited some of my friends over so we could catch up before I left. It was so nice getting to see Kat and Caiti and I'm glad we got to see each other! Hopefully at Christmas we will have more time to spend with each other.

We had a fun time in Texas and were really sad to leave. We will celebrate Christmas there this year,but we are hoping we might get to go back sooner! Thanks mom and dad for everything!
