Holidays in Review: Part 1

Part 1 of our holidays: Here are a few photos from my brother's wedding reception in Colorado. I got to fly out alone and spend a wonderful time with my family and friends out west. Besides the wedding, reception and luncheon, I met a new neice and nephew (not that they're newborn, just hadn't met them yet). Hung out with high school friends and my sister, Shanna and I highlighted each other's hair. :)

During the luncheon, I sat with an old friend who is so funny, it was great. The bride's sister, Melissa and I are the same age and we've, as I've mentioned, known each other a long time too. Mel and her family lived in Michigan, and we got to see them a couple times. Anyway, Mel is great and we had a great visit. The Sparrows are great people (bride's family) and I'm happy for Gary and Emm.

and to the photos:

My brother in law, Brian, my sister, Nickell and their son, Tyler - munching before the reception
I had to add this one. This is Zerin Loosli, a nephew to the bride, and a magician. He was entertaining us with card tricks and had all the lingo and hand movements down. Look at that smile.
The adults here are my sister in law, Dixie annd my brother, David. The girl smiling is their daughter, Audrey, and the other toddler is a niece, Maren, from my sister, Shanna (not pictured). (munching before the reception)
Myself, older sister Shanna, our mom, Christie, and my younger sister, Nickell. All our shades of moss green were different. :) Someone said I looked tan, and I know I haven't seen much sun, but it looks like it here.
The happy couple, my brother, Gary and my new sister in law, Emmalee. They are both deaf and have known each other since they were 4. We've been friends with their family that long too and it was such a fun reception being able to visit with lots of folks I know. Weddings are the best parties!
