Wow what a great weekend! The three of us headed to Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley on Friday afternoon. The ranch that we stayed at (and that the wedding was at) was absolutely incredible. It was kind of like camping because we were all together but we each had our own room and bathrooms! After unloading and getting a tour, we all got ready and headed down to a local steakhouse for some grub (with a group of about 15 others). When we headed back to the ranch we hung out in the gameroom which was fully equipped with a pool table, food, drinks, etc. We stayed up way too late playing games with everyone and having a great time!
Mom and Dad relaxing in front of our rooms:)
The next morning about 15 of us headed out to Monterey to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it was crazy busy but worth going, Avery absolutely loved all that she got to see! Later that night was rehearsal and dinner back at the ranch, it rained so we had to move everything into the "carriage house" but it was still a glorious night!

We started getting ready about 10am the day of the wedding, us girls got our hair done (and some got their makeup done) and we just hung out until it was our turn to take pictures. The day was a complete success! Kaitlin and Chas had a ton of fun and were such a beautiful couple! We were pretty nervous about Avery being the flower girl, but our brother in law Brian was her "handler" and he was so good with her...when it was her turn to walk down the aisle she ran behind the guests to the right, then the left, then finally down the aisle (oh and thanks to Kathy she looked amazing)! So she did great, during the ceremony she just walked around and sat with various people, we couldn't have asked for her to do better! Unfortunately I only have pictures of before the wedding so I don't have any of the happy couple (because between the baby and her stuff we weren't exactly carrying around a camera:) but when I get some I'll post them. Avery stayed up dancing the night away with us until we all went to bed around 10pm...AND she slept in a big girl bed for the first time! She's getting just a little too big for that pack and play, she did great!
So beautiful!
Avery practicing her walk (she wouldn't practice unless she was holding flowers:)
The cutest flowergirl in the whole world! (and no, she didn't wear these shoes for the wedding:)
