After we got home from BC there was a ton to do! Andrew was still in southern Alberta finishing up his rotation, so trying to keep the kids entertained while we were productive was a challenge! The most time-taking thing was probably the paper rosette backdrop! Luckily my friend Shannon was more than willing to help and we got a lot done (but not quite finished) in one day!

| We pulled out the nursery toys for the kids to play with while we set up! |
 |
| (These next few are from my crappy phone the night we finished decorating!) Head table |
 |
| Brian built this super cute lemonade stand for the reception! |
 |
| The paper rosette backdrop! The desk got switched over to a candy buffet for the reception. It looks kind of small but it wasn't! |
 |
| The newly-enlarged Burtenshaw family |
 |
| Sisters! |
 |
| Can I just add that I did all the flowers? At midnight the night before... With the help of my slave Shannon of course! She was actually curling my hair while I arranged them. Good thing the flowers turned out better than my hair! |

| Front entry-way to the reception |
 |
| I love this picture of Grayden! |
 |
| And THIS SMILE! |
 |
| For their wedding slideshow? |
 |
| Family dinner song - A TOTAL FAIL! We were singing along, when a piece of the ceiling fell down! We managed to keep it together pretty well after that until Shan squeaked like a mouse in the wrong spot! Well there was no holding it together after that! Luckily we got a re-do that night at the reception and didn't ruin it! |

| The salsa bar |
 |
| Awesome cake made by Andrews niece Jenna |
 |
| The candy buffet |
 |
| The dessert bar |
 |
| Cahoon Family |
 |
| Me and my slave! |
Everything came together really well and looked (in my opinion) AMAZING! If only Pinterest was around when I had gotten married... As much fun as it all was, I was glad when it was over! We had 2 weeks or so left to relax and play before we flew back to Australia - on to the next post!
