Dancing Machine!

We left for St. Paul, Minnesota on Saturday for my cousin Kyle and his now wife Gina's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and location. We spent Saturday night a couple blocks away at the Hilton Garden on the top floor so we had a great view of downtown from our window.

The wedding and reception was at the Landmark Center downtown St. Paul and it really did look like a castle.

We all gathered for family pictures before the wedding so we took some of our own as well.

Oliver had fun playing with his cousins especially Annaliese. By Sunday they were giving each other hugs and kisses.

Isn't it a beautiful spot for a wedding. The ceremony was officiated by Gina's brother-in-law and I think it was one of the funniest and sweetest wedding ceremonies I've been to.

After the ceremony we enjoyed a slide show, beverages, and a couple tantrums of the kids. At dinner that's when the fire was put out... literally. A napkin was set on fire at our table but by the quick hands of Darrin and Shawn no harm was done. The center pieces at the wedding were gorgeous as well to match the setting.

The dance started next and I had been practicing with Oliver his dance moves the week before. But, Oliver was just content walking/running around everyone on the dance floor screaming with excitement. Everyone got a kick out of him so excited out there. He didn't even care if people ran into him and knocked him over he just got back up. During the slow songs he would dance with my parents or me and he'd usually bury his head into us as if he was tired but once the pace of the songs picked up and he was on the dance floor and a dancing machine!
