WEDDING!

My sister Jordan and her fiance Ben got married on December 19th and it was a blast! The wedding was awesome and the reception was great. The best part for Zack and I, since we were both in the wedding, was that Zack's mom Nancy flew from MN to help watch the kids the whole weekend!! Wow, what an amazing Grandma. She had her hands full lugging the kids and all their gear from one event to the next all weekend, but because of her, we were all able to have so much fun and then Zane and Emerson were also able to be home at a reasonable hour each night and sleep in their own beds. Thank you, Gigi!

These pictures and videos are in mixed up order...they go reception, then rehearsal, then wedding. Oh well.

One highlight for me was Zane and his cousin Mira going crazy on the dance floor. They danced a ton and everyone seemed to be very entertained. They weren't as good as Jord and Ben, but they tried their best to keep up. Here's videos of them dancing fast and then slow dancing together. It was hilarious!

Here are some of Zane's moves during the night...some on his own and some with Mira. He didn't hold back...that's for sure. Plus, by the end of the night, he had his vest and jacket off and his shirt was huge, so it added to the amusement of the whole thing.




Here's the bride and groom dancing with them...
Check out the whole crowed doing the Electric Slide and then little Zane right smack in the middle of everyone looking around. He tried it, but couldn't quite get it.
Zack and I had fun together and could actually spend some quiet time once Gigi took Zane and Emmy home.
Here's my sisters and I with my Dad, and then my Mom in the next picture.


Under the mistletoe...
Zane got so worn out and sleepy at the end of the night, so he snuggled with me.
Here's Emerson at the reception with Gigi and Nell about to give her a kiss.

At the rehearsal, Zane practicing his ring bearer duties. The first time he tried, he ran FULL SPEED down the aisle. So funny.

Here are some pictures from the actual wedding. Here is the wedding party all jumping for joy. :)
I'm so happy for Jord. She couldn't have found a better fit for a husband.
Here's Zane and Mira during their big moment. Mira started slowing down near the end, so Zane started pulling her along. He also said hi to people in their seats while he was walking and showed some people his pillow. Mira and Zane did awesome. No crying or anything.


I like this picture because it shows Zane blabbing away to Mira. It's funny though, because usually he's the big talker, but Mira was also a huge talker so they just talked non-stop to each other and really understood what the other was saying.




Here's Jordan and her sisters on the way to the wedding. We rode in the car on the way there so Ben wouldn't see her and then we got to ride in a limo with the whole wedding party from the ceremony to the reception. I love these girls!
