Scott's Wedding Week
Sunday, a day of rest after our big week in Santa Rosa. Monday I dug out my clipboard to see all the plans I'd organized the weeks before. Home preparations and bills, laundry, watering and such made for a nice home day. I prepared a gallon of peanut sauce. Fred chuckled when he heard that.
Oh joy, Tuesday was fetching day. Mom and I first picked up Megan at her home with Lydia and Wade in Marysville. Then we got Auntie Carol at the airport. We tried a new burger place, Smash Burger, before doing a little shopping and hitting Costco with Carol's card. Aunt Glenda and Uncle Ed were at the Ranch, and we had a nice taco and margarita dinner there.
Cooking curry chicken in the crock-pot Wednesday gave us a good head start for the Chicken Pile-Up rehearsal dinner. Megan and I went to K-Mart and SPD for the remainder of the shopping list. I laid out the spots for "K" Games and started setting those up. Colin and crew arrived from their camping trip in the eve. "Grandmum, can I have adventures with you?" Ah, such sweet words. And, of course, "Where's Kissy?" Auntie Carol without her dog wasn't quite right for her. Raj was home though too.
Thursday morning was some Kuzzie time as Jen came to pick up Megan.
They are so delighted to see each other, and have begun to interact more than simply parallel play. Watching "Animal Alaphabet" is their favorite request. Notice the cute play kitchen in the background.
I baked the cupcakes for the Pinterest wedding dress cake I planned for Friday. Cora took over completion of the project and it turned out so cute!
Thursday eve I made a burrito bar for all. Uncle Ed, Mom and Pop joined us. Dear friend Laurie came after work to help chop veggies. Many hands worked hard. Colin did an awesome job completing the set up of all of the "K" Games' eleven events.
Friday morning I had an early morning hair appointment. Fred took me on the motorcycle to fetch our car at Tom and Serene's. Dustin had driven to San Francisco to pick up Beth. Our morning ride felt like a mini vacation! An unexpected opening for the manicurist left me with a spontaneous pedicure and mini-mani. Bliss! I was relieved of a delivery to the wedding site, so that gave me an extra hour. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the event. It was enjoyed by all. Fred's team were the winners. We had nine teams, each led by someone who had played Grampa ABCB's "X" Games. All the chicken and rice for the pile-up was consumed. Those were huge pots too! I forgot about these young men appetites! Jacque and Laurie wore themselves out washing dishes into the night. Great friends helped wonderfully!
The wedding day began with a gathering to set up the 30 tables in the morn. When I got home the Sacramento crew were arriving. The kids got to swim and frolic before the wedding. I lay down for a nap before getting dressed. Some of the young gals at the wedding were very complimentary of my dress, that made me feel very nice. It was a hot day, probably upper 80s. Considering it was 108 the weekend before, we were all very grateful. I was surprised to find out Scott wanted me to walk with he and Serene down the aisle. That was very sweet and unexpected.
Our little grandgirls looked precious.
I was so happy to have Colin and AJ with their families there on this special day.
