Today was the celebration!  We started with the flowers.  Aunts and Moms joined Abbey to design the arrangements after purchasing flowers early this morning at Trader Joe’s.

John and Aaron finished mowing the backyard and then brought out the tables and chairs.  It’s nice to have all of these things here, ready for events.

The food was catered by Marvelous Catering, one of our favorite local caterers.  They set up in the garage and prepared a wonderful taco bar.  The food was Delicious!

Here’s the photo booth in the driveway of the Farm House.

The calm before the storm.

We took some family photos before the guests started to arrive.

Here’s one from the photographer of all of our family.

The rest of the evening flew by like a flash or glimpse of heaven–so many dear friends came to wish Aaron and Abbey well.

Here are just a few pics with family members.
