Getting Ready for the Big Day!

This weekend was the super exciting wedding weekend for Laura and Tom, so we had a week packed full of fun! It kicked off with a boat trip for just the grown-ups on Lake Grapevine. Neal and I had so much fun with good food and company and even got to do a fun "wish lantern" - of course, I talked Neal into letting go too soon and ours plummeted down toward the lake and ended up landing on a rope, almost setting it on fire. Oh well!

On Friday, we headed to Union Station for the rehearsal. The girls had a long week with VBS but they were so excited for their Flower Girl-ing debut and to hang out with Landon!

Cousins!

My dad made this amazing cross and arch for Laura and Tom to use at the wedding - he spent countless hours planning and building and it could not have looked more perfect! The kids were super excited that he was done working hard on the assembly to show them around!

Katie, Laura and I all had pockets and I thought this was photo-worthy

They look good to go!

So cute!

After the rehearsal, we headed to the Sook's house for an amazing rehearsal dinner - they had fantastic BBQ, a mariachi band, and even special fireworks that were a surprise to the bride and groom! The kids loved swimming after dinner and it was just an all-around fun night! The kids easily fell asleep on the way home, which was a big blessing since Saturday was going to be an equally busy day!
