Holly's Wedding

Holly and Hal's wedding was so beautiful! It was such a treat to be a part of it. Mom always amazes me in her ability to put together such wonderful events. The reception was wonderful. Every detail . . . when Anthony and I arrived in Ohio Wednesday night - she and Tanner were just finishing up the little books and bookshelf that was being prepared for the entrance of the reception center - where guests would find their book that would direct them to their table. Anyway - it was so cute! The books were made out of little candy boxes . . . oh I wish I had taken a picture. Carrie had put together a coloring/activity book for the kids that detailed Holly and Hal's story through wordsearches, coloring pages, mazes, etc. So cute! All the kids had little bags - and the guest were given little ipod backpacks as favors with a note attached explaining how Holly and Hal met (Hal helped Holly carry her books) . . . and now they can carry each other's burdens through life . . . Oh dear I'm not doing it justice. I wish I would have taken pictures. It was fun doing a little program honoring Holly. LIttle Allison even got up and sang a version of 'Holly had a little lamb' - in memory of Holly's love and devotion to her sheep growing up. I was such a proud mom!

Anyway - we had such a good time - and it was such a treat to get to know Hal's family, and visit with family and friends. We love you Holly and Hal!
