Wedding Weekend With Family #1

**GUEST BLOGGER**

 ~ Eric Hendrickson ~ (my husband)

The August 30th weekend was the first of a string of three family wedding weekends in a row.  This wedding was for my first cousin, Allison.

My mom, Sharon; brothers, Bret and Marc; and Bret's family, Andrea, Ayden, and Kallin, came up from Fort Worth.  My mom and Marc stayed at our house.

The wedding was at Eberly Farms in Wichita. 

Above are the cousins from left to right:  Kallin, Sarah, Phoebe, Ayden, and Silas. 

They had a nice ceremony led by Allison's grandfather. 

Allison wore a beautiful dress and the guys sported slick tuxedos.

There were a lot of pies, cookies, and cake for dessert.  I never made it that far because I ate too much dinner.  Eberly Farms makes and serves some great food.

Above on the left is Sarah with Grandma Sharon.  On the right is my Grandma, Dorothy, and her sister with the red hair, Shirleen (Aunt Nene).  Also pictured are my mom and her twin, Karen.

The dancing fools, pictured above, from left to right: Ken (my first cousin), Daniel (my first cousin), Marc (my brother), Joe (my first cousin), me, and Hannah (my first cousin, Allison's sister).  The little guy is Archer, Patrick's son.

Carla, Allison's Mom, is out dancing with the little girls.

Marc and I were showing off our moves.  The one pictured above is the "lawnmower".  I also did the "Carlton" and Vanilla Ice moves.  I act like I am smooth but I know that I am not.  I do have fun though.

Here we are pictured above, with the bride, Allison.

Silas and Marc were best buds.

The kids enjoyed playing in the sprinkler in our backyard.  I have some great memories with my cousins and I bet this will be one for these cousins.

We took a lot of pictures and finally got one with all the grandkids and Grandma Sharon.

I am thankful that the entire family was able to get together.  It doesn't happen near enough.

Bret, Marc, and I were able to have some bro time by going to the driving range.  We all smashed the ball, but Marc has the most distance.  Bret had the best accuracy.  I have such a great time with my brothers. I wish we all lived near each other.  When together, we are idiots, but we have fun doing it.  Love you guys.
