Jacob and Natalie got married on Dec 20! Natalie is super cool. She is a super go-getter who is passionate about civil rights and jazz music. I'm confident that she and Jacob are going to make the world a better place.
Just look at these two!
They got married in DC, which was convenient for us because we were planning on being at my parent's house for Christmas. We ended up being out east for three weeks! We started out the trip with a few days at Jonny and Megan's house before the wedding. We got to go to their ward Christmas party, tour Timmy's new townhouse, eat Megan's yummy food, and let the kids dump out all the toys in the basement. It was wonderful.
This picture feels like a bit of family history- Mom blood using sharpie to freshen up scuffed boy church shoes before the wedding. Classic Sara Blood maneuver.
The wedding just so happened to be on Elliot's birthday! His Uncle Max did that to him as well. That means that 25% of his 8 birthdays have been commandeered by weddings. We mostly celebrated his birthday later. His actual birthday was honored by giving him unlimited screen time in the car while driving to the wedding with his favorite person in the world, his cousin Aaron.
The actual sealing was scheduled for the evening after dark, so we took pictures at the temple first, then had the reception nearby, then went back for the sealing in the evening.
The Bloods welcoming our newest addition!
8 of the 10 siblings were in attendance. Mary and James couldn't make it. What stellar people.
Isaac's tiny butler outfit frequently overwhelmed me with cuteness.
The kids and dads got to hang out at the visitors center while the rest of us rushed over to help finish set up at the reception. Natalie's family hired my mom to take point on the wedding reception, and she knocked it out of the park as usual.
My kids got to see Mimi and Grumpa for the first time in months at the reception, and the kid's reactions were adorable. They adore their grandparents.
The food was delicious, the stories and toasts were heartwarming, and the slideshow was hilarious.
Mimi managed to have a birthday present for Elliot (origami!) on top of the thousand details she was managing that day. Truly a wonder woman.
It was a fun day celebrating these two wonderful people!
