They're Baaaack
Last night, Kevin and Jessica hosted a gift opening party at their new house. My whole family was there (sans Geoff and Cait, both working) and most of Kevin's family, plus three sets of grandparents.
I saw them for a few minutes when they stopped in on their way home from the airport, but it was really nice to see them at home, getting all set up in their new shared space. The house is HUGE for two people, but I suppose it's a good way to begin a life together - with space to retreat. They are both so happy and relaxed, it was just so great to see.
Oh, and they brought back an amazing green wrap for me from Mexico :)
The best part? They served leftover cakes from Baked Expectations that we threw in the freezer right after their wedding reception. How can an evening with cheesecake go wrong?

More About the Wedding
So, my baby sister is married and lying on a beach somewhere in the Mayan Riviera with her new hubby. Despite the cold on Saturday, their day went perfectly.
A few highlights and/or points of interest:
- My dad and Jessica spending much of the ceremony rehearsal kicking each other
- Explaining to the flower girls that they were a part of 'the team' even though they couldn't come on stage with us
- The best man spending the entire wedding day singing bad 90s radio hits in falsetto (until someone gave him a mic during the reception, and he shut right up)
- Saying hi to Cindy and Danica, who drove up to be at the wedding
- At one point during the rehearsal, four members on the wedding party were either on their cell phones or texting
- Anica and Sophie, tap dancing and twirling in their 'princess dresses'
- There was an uneven number of guys & girls in the wedding party, so I had TWO young gentlemen escort me
- Jessie, doing her dorky and famous 'bum dance' in her wedding dress
- Seeing Chynna, my not-so-little-anymore fashionista, dressed to the nines with a giant cast on her arm
- A totally relaxed morning hair session with Christie, who did an absolutely amazing job
- A reception catered by Baked Expectations, with chocolate fountains and a coffee bar... yum
- My dad: 'I'm not losing a daughter, I'm gaining an office'
We'll have the *proper* pics back from the photographers in a week or two, and I'll post a few then. This one was snapped by Geoff at the Leg, while I helped the flower girls get their shoes on and pinned flowers into their hair.

Big Shiny Weekend
I'm out in Niverville for the weekend, starting at lunchtime tomorrow. Can you believe this munchkin in the middle is getting married?! :)
Ooh, she's not going to appreciate me spreading that around the internet. Oh well.
On another note, guess what Friday is... The Oshawa Generals / Saginaw Spirit game. Not that I'm suggesting anything ;)
