My brother, Joseph, got married October 5th in College Station, Texas. Luckily, Shane, Matthew, and I were able to fly down for a whirlwind weekend of family fun. It turned out to be a great and relaxing weekend despite quite a bit going on. The adults played games in between events, while the cousins played together, all enjoying some time at Grammy and Pawpaw's. Though this seems like a lot of pictures, I didn't end up with pictures of any of our extended family that came in for the wedding. Sunday morning many of them also came over for a big family breakfast at the ranch, it was great to see everyone on this special weekend!
Matthew enjoyed having his own bread stick at Olive Garden for the rehearsal dinner.

Emma and Cate enjoyed pretending in their own booth at the restaurant.

My sister found all of the cousins matching Christmas pajamas after last year. However, since baby Michael is due around Christmas and Shane is deploying soon we won't be making a trip to Texas this Christmas. Therefore, we decided to have "Christmas morning" in October with the cousins while everyone was together.
These three are adorable together and really do love each other.

The venue of the wedding turned out perfect, and was a great atmosphere for fun and relaxing with friends and family from out of town.

Lastly to finish off the weekend, Sunday afternoon, Aunt Laura and Uncle Ross drove to College Station for a quick visit. It was great to see them, and Matthew loved playing with them.
