Salt Lake Reception

The day before the wedding and reception we decorated the church. Dougie and Ivie brought the decorations from Roosevelt, we sure appreciate them for all they did. Ivie made the sign in book for them and it came out so beautiful! She spent lots of hours working on it.
Dad and I picked up my brother Leo and his wife Ellen from their hotel, they had just flown in that morning....we all met at the church, decorated and then Leo and Ellen took us all out to Marie Calenders for dinner. It was so much fun to all be together....
The reception went well, Ammon caught the garter and Hiedi (Shans sister in law) caught the bouquet....Farrari's friend Laralynn was a big help!

Sunday 3-13-2011 A day of rest!!! Family togetherness!

What a great Sunday we had. Leo taught me how to make his yummy meatballs and we talked about growing up in Italy! I learned so much! We all just spent the day together, watched Solae' and Eric open presents. We went to the Pioneer Village and took a train ride and went through Brigham Youngs house....We toured temple square with Leo and Ellen and then had to say goodbye!!

Ari returns from Texas!!

Waiting at the airport for Ari to come home. The little ones had fun running around. Ari flew in with 2 other missionaries. It was great to see her again!

Having fun running after the kids, they loved going up and down the escalator. Of course I started to cry when she came out....we've missed her so much!

Lunch with Ari at Ihop

After picking up Ari at the airport we went to Ihop for lunch then headed home!
