We have been anticipating this vacation because not only was there the wedding, but all 5 Holbrook Boys hadn't been together since 2001. Our girls hadn't ever met Ryan and Julie's boys before either who are now 3 1/2 and 2. We couldn't wait for the big REUNION!
The morning of our trip we were to fly out at 6 a.m. but we received a phone call at 3 a.m. saying our flight had been canceled. After many hours of negotiation and long layovers we finally arrived in Washington (nine hours late). We were so disappointed not to have arrived on time and have wasted an entire day at the airport. Due to such a late arrival we had no idea all the Holbrooks were waiting at the airport for us. As soon as all the BOYS saw Joe they encircled him and started jumping up and down. It was hilarious and made the stressful day seem meaningless in comparison.
This is Madison and Ashley enjoying movies on the plane rides!
Here are all the cousins cuddled up! Mason, Madison, Ashley and Caleb.
All 5 boys back together again! They couldn't get enough posing and camera time. This was taken out in front of the Columbia River Temple in Washington. I can't explain the feeling we had when all of us were able to join Christianne at the temple for her endowment.
The very happy couple!
Christianne's Mom made all the bridesmaid dresses, my girls' dresses, and the vests that all the nephews were wearing. Didn't she do such an amazing job?
My girls were so excited to see Christianne in her beautiful white, wedding gown. I think Ashley tried to stay by her side most of the day when she could.
I had to post a picture of me and the handsome groom, Todd. I truly used to think whoever snatches him up is one lucky girl, but after I met Christianne, I realized just how lucky Todd is too!
This is the beautiful view from Christianne's Grandmas's house where the reception was held. Surrounded by cherry, apple and alfalfa fields. It was breathtaking!
This is Joe's Uncle and Aunt, Rick and Tracy Bigelow. They have always been one of the biggest supporters of the Holbrook Boys and fly out for every occasion and we love them so much for it.
Had to catch one more shot of Todd as he was off to his honeymoon. Does he look excited or what?Overall, we had fun filled week with family, ate lots of food, and let the kids stay up way too late!
But, hey, it was all worth it!!!
