Cassie is, indeed, a beautiful bride! It was good to see everyone again, if only through your camera lens. But, hey ... no pics of "Partners"?

Dana said...

I love your family. They are too great for words, as are you. ♥

How fun was that trip! I need a vacation! Wanna go to Disney with me! Now that would be a fun MOMS group!

You did a fabulous job putting this post together! Looks like fun was had by all and I am laughing at the thought "you" said in your comment on my blog, that you have a daughter in college,.... You look like you are in college! Have a wonderful week end! =O)

Hi Annaliese! Thanks for visiting my blog : ) I laughed at your "powerbars"! I know a lot of people that pack an entire suitcase of food when they travel there, you're not alone! Your family is beautiful and this looks like a full, fun, memorable vacation. See you at church : )

Great job on the post. Love all the pics. Wish we could've been there. Someday our kids will see the happiest place on earth. Congrats to Keith and Trish.

Hey Annaliese! It was soooo nice finally meeting Evie and Ian, and to see Gabby as such a beautiful young lady (and quite the heartbreaker she is!). I am absolutely in love with them all. You have such a beautiful family, and it's so wonderful to see you all so happy. I loved spending time with you guys during the reception! Hope to see you all again soon at our next family reunion! Hopefully it isn't another 8 years!

PS I stole the picture of Evie and I to show my friends and co-workers! :)
