Tom and Zahra's Wedding

At the end of October we had ANOTHER wedding. This time it was Eli's cousin Tom getting married in Raleigh, North Carolina. We left early Friday morning and stopped in Dumfries to pick up another of Eli's cousins, Joe. It was nice to have someone besides me to help Eli with the driving!

Arriving NC, we stopped by Caitlin and Cullen's house in Cary. Caitlin fed us a tasty and healthy lunch, and then we hung out and played with the kids for the rest of the afternoon.

That evening we went to the rehearsal dinner. Mid-way through the meal we heard that Martin and Barbara's flight had been canceled. Since our house is near the airport Eli called and suggested they spend the night at our place. Unfortunately, they could not get in because Sara's parents locked the inside garage door (silver lining: we would have been locked out as well, but were able to make other arrangements).
(NOTE-- because her parents had babysat on Thu night and stayed after we left on Friday)

Overall the weekend went very smoothly. The kids slept well and even slept in through daylight savings. The wedding was beautiful and finished off the weekend with a huge family brunch at Aunt Alison's on Sunday morning.
