Joe and Annie's Wedding

Two weeks ago we were in Virginia for my cousin Annie's wedding. We had such a great time! We headed out on Thursday and came back on Monday. We stayed at a great place called the Homewood Inn Suites. They were so great there and the rooms were awesome. They had breakfast every morning and the first night we were there they even had free dinner!
My whole family traveled together Thursday morning. It was awesome because the flight was only half full so we were able to spread out. Stella did pretty good on the plane and even took a little cat nap. She had fun playing with the buckles, if you can imagine that. Nora did great too. She did some awesome writing on the plane as well. She made a little book and I am so impressed with her writing. Thursday after we got settled we all headed to a local Mexican Restaurant for dinner. There was around 20 of us, which was a lot of fun. They had very yummy margaritas. I ended up going to the ER that night with Stella, but that is in my previous post ;)
Friday I stayed back with Stella while Peter and Nora went on a whirlwind tour of DC with Uncle John, Uncle Scott, Aunt Boo, Allison, Jalen, Uncle Mike and Danny. They had a fun time and my previous post was about their tour. While they were gone, Stella and I went to the Mernah's house and then went and saw Annie and Joe's apartment and had lunch. Friday evening was the rehearsal dinner. It was fun and at a cool location. They had it at a train museum and Joe's parents did all of the cooking, which was amazing! We had fun hanging out and playing.
Saturday was the big day. We went swimming for a bit in the morning and then all started to get ready. The wedding was just beautiful and Annie was absolutely gorgeous. We then headed to the reception which was at a firehouse. Everything was so cute and rustic. It reminded me of my friend Valerie. We had so much fun dancing. We danced most of the night until Stella couldn't go any more. She was done. She made it until 9:30 and that was the 3rd night in a row of staying up late so she had had it. We went back and put the girls to bed and waited for the rest to return. We all partied some more in the awesome lobby/bar area of the hotel. We laughed a lot at how silly everyone was and that one guy called me Devie and said he loved my braces. Pretty hilarious!
Sunday we hung out and went swimming and laid low. We just visited with everyone and had a nice time doing just that. On Monday our flight was delayed and we headed to the Mernah's house to wait. We were able to watch Frozen and by the time that ended we headed to the airport. We had such a great time with family and I was sad to see it end. It makes me miss them all so, so much! We were all ready to be back in our own beds though. The girls shared a pull out couch and had to fall asleep in our bed first, but overall staying in a hotel wasn't that awful, harder than I thought, but not bad.
These are just a few from our weekend!
