Auntie Lisa's wedding

Sorry for the lack of blogging over the last month--my old computer was on its last legs and I've finally replaced it with a laptop!

Auntie Lisa and Uncle Kyle got married a few weeks ago, and we all headed to Wisco for the wedding. Before we left, I bought Lisa some lingerie as a bachelorette gift, and the girls came with me to buy it. We were in the mall and I told them, "Let's go to Victoria's Secret and buy Auntie Lisa some fancy underwear." Larkin started laughing hysterically and said she was very confused and didn't see how underwear could be fancy, or why Lisa would even want fancy underwear.

After we got home, Larkin was concerned that we didn't buy anything for Kyle. She said, "I know! How about we buy him some fancy underwear too? It can match! Eww. Wait. But then I'd have to touch some boy underwear, and that would be gross. Let's get him a coffee cup instead."

So off we went to shop for the "perfect coffee cup." Willa got to pick out Kyle's (she chose an awesomely tacky one with a parrot handle) and Larkin searched the store endlessly for a "fancy gold one, because you know, it's a wedding and weddings are fancy, so Lisa needs a gold coffee cup." She was ecstatic when she found exactly what she wanted!

The temperature was negative 18 on our first night there, but that didn't stop the girls from going outside to play (for just a few minutes until both came back in saying, "MY TOES ARE FROZEN!"). Check out Joel's frosted glasses from snowmobiling in cold weather!

The wedding was at a super cute farm in Northern Wisconsin for a long weekend. Everyone had their own cabins and the wedding was in a little log church. Luckily there was a "heat wave" and the temps got up in the lower 30's--so the girls were able to do lots of ice skating, sledding, and even snowshoeing!








Our cabin had a sauna, so Joel and Uncle Ryan and Uncle CJ all decided to jump in the snow and then run to the warm sauna. Crazy Wisconsin natives!! Brrrr!


The girls have this flower girl routine down pat. This was their third time to be flower girls in less than a year! But most likely their last, as now all the Aunts and Uncles are married.




Congrats Auntie Lisa and Uncle Kyle!!
