Those are quite the number there Katie! I am so bummed we didn't make it to the reception. Tigh was coughing so hard. He was great in the temple, but he lost it later. Poor kiddo. We wanted to go so bad! BUT! There is always the Utah reception that we will be at this Thursday! See you there!
P.S.
Your family is SO cute!

"Come and knock on our door....We've been waiting for you!" Ha! You are so funny, Kate!

Wow! What an eventful 11 days you guys had! There are so many things that I would comment on but then I'd have "eleventy billion" things to say, so I'll just sum it up by saying you guys are so cute, the wedding looked fabulous and it looked like you had a great time!!!

Your family should be on advertisements! I can't believe your hot bod has borne 4 children, multiples included.

I'm sure you noticed that I took your idea from this one and used it on my anniversary one. I was trying to think of a good anniversary post and then I read this one and it got my wheels turnin. Hope you don't mind. :)
