Open House

Next part of the adventure was the Open House in Louisiana.  I took the opportunity to take a quick picture in our wedding attire.  :)

 Just in case you are wondering, no...my hair is not gray...just the coloring of the picture.  My trial of photoshop just ended so now I just have to deal with the way the pictures are taken until I actually decide to buy it or find something else to edit with.

My mom is kind of a professional deviled egg maker.  :)

 We took a rest (and a very unflattering picture) in the midst of the preparations.  :)

 Three hundred cheers to my Dad, Alan, and Elaine who kept the boys entertained while we worked!  Jared loves Grandpa and who can blame him when you get a cookie in a rocking chair?!  :)

 Before everyone arrived, we made sure Bride & Groom got some food.  :)

 My mom is an amazing quilter.  Melanie chose the fabric and mom did it all!

 The boys were unenthusiastic about the "party" and stayed down only long enough to eat a bit and then went to bed.

 There are so many wonderful people that feel like family!

 We were being silly and pretending to greet them since I wanted her to have a picture of greeting guests.

 Some very brave (to endure the cold) individuals hung out on the deck around the fire.
