THE RECEPTION (WDG. PT. 5)

This is the last of the wedding posts!  

Lainie and Cory's reception was so much fun!  The kids (with the exception of pictures!) were great for the entire shindig... I really can't complain.  But they definitely had so much fun at the reception!

My good friend since 4th grade (or earlier!), Dana, came to help us out with the kids!  We were so thankful for all that she did and for really allowing Dave not to miss a lot of the reception!  After the kids danced their little hearts out (as you'll see in the following pictures), she took them back to the hotel and they slept in her hotel room for the night!  She insisted that they stay with her for a sleepover and they were great... sleeping until 7:20!  Dave and I really enjoyed being able to stay and hang out with people even after we got back to the hotel from the reception.  We were out until 1 AM, which hasn't happened in a long time!

Cindy and Lori were perfect table mates!

Ben was so excited to sit next to Cindy! 

And she helped make sure he ate some dinner!

Maaike happily took her seat next to Lori!



My Aunt Lois and Uncle Hubie 

Beautiful cousin Ali... who designed the wedding invitations, shower invitations, and programs for the wedding! 

My cousin Brian and his lovely wife, Katie, came all the way from Minneapolis! 

Time to dance!



The kids literally danced most of the time they were there with the exception for eating dinner. 



Ben was a little shy at first.... but once he got out there, he went crazy!  He was literally break dancing on the floor and having a blast.  We have dance parties at home and he replicated all his moves in front of the guests!  It was quite entertaining for all!













He got pretty sweaty! 







The kids left right before Lainie and Cory cut the cake.  It was soooo yummy!


Neel and Suzi!





It was so great to see our family friends, the Beach's!  Our moms were nursing buddies together before they had kids so we've known each other forever!  It's been a long time since I've seen them and it was good to catch up a little bit! 

Dana's going to kill me for putting this on the blog but she'll get over it!  This is what I came in to when I went in their room the next morning... just hanging out watching TV!  They were happily comfortable with her and enjoyed their sleepover without the 'rents!

We had such a great time celebrating Lainie and Cory!

Next stop on our trip:  Neel and Suzi's farm in NY!!!
