Everybody's geddin' ready for the weddin'!

We tried not to think about the wedding reception until the day of. I didn't want to spend our whole week getting ready for it. But wow did this family ever spring into action when the bugle sounded! Everywhere you looked, there was a flurry of activity. What is not shown here is the 300 crepes that Kristen was making in the kitchen or the incredible raising of the deck by Kevin. That's right, he raised it, straightened it and painted it. That act alone earned him my undying devotion forever. I think of him every single time I walk by that deck. And take a look at Gavin--trimming, weeding, mowing, hauling and minding the children. It's his vacation! What a guy.
