Wedding Weekend

Last October we attended an amazing family wedding at Pebble Beach, really it was more of a wedding weekend! It was by far the most beauitful, luxurious event we have ever been to. It was made even better by some very generous people who allowed us to stay in their gorgeous home in Carmel, half a block from the beach!! If you know my kids, they were in heaven playing, building and destroying their sand castles and I couldn't get enough of the ocean air and sounds of the waves.







Josh and James were both in the wedding party along with our niece Emma. It was so fun to see them dressed up looking so great and so excited to do their 'job'. James said he was nervous but you would not have noticed, he smiled and stood up front during the ceremony, showing how he is maturing into a young man. I still want to hold onto the young part for a while :)

Love!





Seriously, he is adorable!





Cocktail hour on the patio.



This was our table!




A warm fire in the banquet hall.


We were fortunate enough to have two wonderful girls I work with come over to be with the kids while Josh and I attended the reception, a decision that was well worth it. Josh and I were able to have a great evening with adults, amazing food, drinks, dancing and lots of laughter as we celebrated the new couple into the night. The next morning there was a send off brunch at a monster of a house. These pictures show the grounds where the kids played while we enjoyed some more time with family. What a wonderful way to keep celebrating!


Looking up at the house.





Nice view!



Wow, it really was a fantastic weekend, one that we are sure not to forget. I can not wait to see the professional photos!! Thanks and congrats to the happy couple!
