A week of a wedding and some relaxation

This last week, we went to Utah for Steve's sister's wedding. We had a great time spending time with Steve's family for the first half and my family for the second. We always come back with mixed feelings about our trips "back home." If only we could have a summer home in Utah, and a winter home in California?

These are the older and wiser cousins.

These are the younger cousins... Emilie is only 8 days apart from the cousin in the middle and 4 months younger than the one on the left...

All dressed up.

Steve's sister is amazing. She was in charge of all the flowers for the wedding and I was ga ga over this bouquet. Can I get married again just to hold this??? Seriously, isn't it gorgeous???

And, the cake. Beautiful.

These were all the little girls in the wedding...

Maddie was no stranger to the dance floor. She was out of control and swing'n that dress like nobody's business.

Yes, she was in heaven, wearing her "cinderbella" dress.

Just in case you think this is too perfect, this was Maddie's face for quite a lot of it. No sleep + No food + lots of people + new surroundings = GRUMPY.

A quick shot of us at the wedding brunch... which was so beautiful by the way.

We were stuck outside of Steve's house for a while after the wedding, so I took a couple of shots of Maddie on the swing.

After the wedding, we were in some need for some R and R, so we headed up to Park City (my all time fav place in Utah).

We swam, we ate, we went to this great park by the Park City ski resorts with an alpine roller coaster, slide, zip line... it was so much fun.

Of course, we came back today and are exhausted. (ok, maybe I'm just exhausted). But, it was so great to be around family who we don't see nearly as often as we should.
