Wedding Festivities

Our main reason for heading west on this trip was my cousin, Silja's wedding on November 10th! It was such an incredibly fun day & was great to sit at the cousin (& baby) table!!! We only took Cole with us to the wedding & it was quite a treat not to have to 'run' after the others! My cousins, Erin & Ashley babysat for us so that was a bonus!

Silja in her beautiful hat!

Maren 'quizzing' Silja about Aaron! Lotsa laughs!

Me & the beautiful bride

Bride & Groom - Disney style!

Sisters! Silja & Maren

The cake - a group effort: made by Grandma J., iced by my mom & decorated by family friend, Crystal

The cousin table!

My mom with her dad & siblings

(note: my grandpa passed away on January 23, 2008 so this is the last time that they were all together - a special moment, since my one aunt was visiting from Norway)

BC Trip

We left for BC on October 30th and returned home on November 15th. We made stops in Alberta, Abbotsford and Port Alberni, on our way to Victoria and spent two nights with Miles' family on our way home. It was great to see family & friends again & also let them meet our newest addition!
