Wedding Rehearsal

Time to get ready for Uncle Scotty and Kellse's big day!  I got to paint Abby's nails the day before the rehearsal.  I LOVE that this girl is a girlie girl.  We're going to have LOTS of fun together.  <3 nbsp="" p="">

We got out of school on Friday for Christmas break.  Perfect timing.  Rehearsal and wedding on deck!
Here are the kids entertaining themselves at the church during the rehearsal.

We didn't plan these outfits, I promise.  

...after rehearsal (where the priest made all of us nervous by announcing he would be officiating the funeral tomorrow, oh wait, scratch that, he meant wedding.  He'd just done a few funerals this week and was in funeral mode.  Then asked Scott if he was a groomsman, after the rehearsal was over, and he had to remind him that no, in fact he was THE GROOM.)  we headed to the Motor Boat Club for rehearsal dinner.  Cox kids joined in.  :)

Landon tells Dave his first lost tooth story.  Cheese and Crackers!  :)

Poor Colton.  Trying to hang with the big boys.

Talking/Dancing Santa was a big hit

...speaking of big hit.  Take a gander at these handsome fellas.

Aunt Kelly with Grant and Abby

Scott and the MOG (last time you'll be Mother of the Groom, Chris...sniff, sniff)

And the kids opening gifts from Uncle Scotty and Aunt Kellse

...and ummm, Landon's not really impressed with his "girl" gift. 

 He was okay with it after explanation from Aunt Kellse that St. Christopher was supposed to bring good luck and she always carried one in her soccer bag.  

..no explanation required on the personalized baseball bats.  

Grant was immediately in love with his and was eager to show it off to whoever would look.  

Victim:  Heather.

Laura and Christie, being their selfless selves (hehe!) and finishing one of my drinks, which I DID NOT need.

The parents!

The parents and the couple!

...and it was this picture folks that I lost Chris' camera for her by giving it to Dave (thinking it was Kelle's) and it wasn't recovered until the following day at the Sandercock house at the end of our prepping for the wedding.  Phew.  I was feeling BAD about that!!!
