Tara's wedding

We stayed over the weekend after Glen's business trip to Utah so that we could attend Tara and Christian's wedding party.

Christy, the mother of my daughter-in-law, Sally, is in the background. Tara is Sally's sister. The very tall beauty behind her is a sister of Christian who is also a super model. Christian's family is very tall family with 6 ++ feet the norm. Tara is greeting one of her high school friends from San Diego.

Tara is a graphic designer who had many good ideas for her special day. This is the club house at Soldier Hollow in Midway. The giant white balloons were stunning as was the scenery.

Tara looked beautiful in her champagne beaded gown. She and her step-mother, Brooke, agree that the decor is unique and just right.

Glen and Scott, the father of the bride, watch the photography session from the balcony.

One of the great things about our children marrying people from California is that we have met some wonderful new people. When Oscar arrived for the party, he became an instant star. So many people wanted to meet him. These are his surrogate grandparents and aunts. Lezlie (far left) and Nichelle and Sally were BFF's in high school. Kay and John, Lezlie's parents, have been so kind to Nichelle through the years. Kay and John were so excited to tell us about the arrival of their first granddaughter who they had just met in Texas. (You might notice that we also have a very tall member of our family. Yeah, Nate!)

Our wedding responsibilities included helping the nieces get ready to go the the Salt Lake Temple to greet their aunt as she exited the temple. They looked so cute in their jackets and styling dresses.

Sadie loved the new flower fairy doors book that I had purchased the previous day at Anastasia's Attic at Gardner Village. More about that fun day in a later post.

After the girls left for Salt Lake City with Aunt Amy, grandpa and grandma were in charge of Mabel for the rest of the day. This is how Mabel watched BYU football with Grandpa Glen. Special thanks to Great-grandpa and Great-grandma Alvord for letting us hang out at their house.
