Yep, Mr. & Mrs. Peter Burleigh are official! We all flew out to Minneapolis and got to spend the wedding week together in August. Unfortunately, it was Adam's last week of summer school, so he was only able to join us for the weekend. But, we had a lot of activity and people to keep us entertained! John & Annie had just welcomed little Hannah Mae into the world a few weeks earlier, so it was quite exciting to meet our newest family member.... before Janelle became our newest family member! =) It was busy and fun and we all made some great memories. Special thanks to Mom & Dad for helping make it all happen! A few of the extended fam from both sides were able to fly out, which was such a blessing as well. Too bad that was the last wedding for the Burleigh kids (before the next generation starts it all again, of course)... because we were reminded just how fun weddings can be!
The cousins together eating popcorn and watching a movie... and Miss Hannah is right in the mix!
Isa & Ana meeting their new girl buddy
Oliver handled the trip and travel well ~ He's quite a trooper and is becoming such a little boy.
Wedding rehearsal -- Janelle's bridesmaids. Such a special treat to get to spend time with some of the people she loves!
Don't we love Peter? You can't see the shirt too well, but it is an oh-so-classic
Talented Lauren serenaded us all with her violin
Typical.... girls do the spa & fancy dinner, while the guys hit the ice for a hockey game, ha!
Holding my nifty niece Hannah Mae
The two beautiful 'newbies' in the Burleigh fam =)
Annie, The Bejeweled Bow (love it), Me, The Bride, & Momma Bee
We were 'tickled pink' GrammaRene could make it!
The Belles love their new Aunt
And I love my new sis! What a blessing all my sisters are - and answers to many prayers (mostly the ones I screamed while desperately wanting to play Barbie dress up and the boys wanting to play kick-the-can)
A neat moment during the ceremony where the families gathered around to pray for the new couple
Faithful Karen always there to celebrate the big moments in our lives - and of course she's always a big help with the kids!
Big brothers James & Lincoln and their baby sis
2 successful family shots, wahoo!
What fun Anabelle had with her fairy godmother! These two are kindred.
Peter & Janelle
A fun moment for the bridal party... attempting to walk for an 'action' shot, and failing miserably!
The first dance... note the kid crew to the left is completely entranced
Father/Daughter & Mother/Son dance
Lolli & Poppy cuttin' a rug
Anabelle had a BALL dancing. She was the last kid on the dance floor... at midnight. And we had to DRAG her off. Her best/most favorite/most over used move? The twirl.
The photo booth was such a fun touch! Everyone could take pics as desired, then take one photo strip home, and the other went in the guest book along with your written message. What fun for Peter & Janelle to look through over the years!
By far the best moment of the evening. A spontaneous & spirited dance by the newlyweds set to the tune of Grease's "You're the one that I want." Extra kudos to Janelle who rocked it in very tall and very sparkly silver heels!
Anabelle & Isabel eagerly carried 'their' bouquets around all the next day
The cousins all together! James, Oliver, Isabel, Douglas, Hannah, Lincoln, & Anabelle. How we adore this crew.
We sure loved getting to hug GrammaRene!
Congrats Peter & Janelle! Thanks for making our family complete... and cooler =)
