Jacqueline Was Wife-ed and Caroline Was Blessed

The Saturday after Christmas was a busy day for us.

Jacqueline had her reception the previous night (somehow I don't have any pictures...must have had something to do with the fact that both S & L were sick during the event!), so Saturday morning was wedding day, Saturday afternoon was wedding luncheon, Saturday late afternoon was baby blessing, Saturday evening was Ryn Ellis's baptism & more family time.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful.  Jacqueline is one of my favorite people in the whole world and she managed to marry someone who seems just as wonderful as she is.  Jacob is a genuinely NICE nice nice person, and it was so sweet to see them so happy together!

We love Auntie Jacqueline

Sisters

Jacqueline got married in the Draper, UT temple and Kit, Rob's sister, was having her eldest daughter's baptism at a nearby chapel that same day.  We decided to take advantage of having all of our extended families together in (nearly) the same place and do Caroline's baby blessing just prior to the baptism.

Caroline was not happy to be woken up for the blessing so she shared her very rarely used Angry-Baby Cry while Rob was speaking, but by picture time she had calmed down to her usual happy self.

The rest of the evening was spent celebrating at Kit & Kevin's house.  After a long, wonderful 24 hours we were ALL happy to crash by bedtime!
