Last weekend we were all blessed with the opportunity to be a part of a wedding for Drews brother and our new sister. The couple lives in Dallas so the wedding was destination for us.
Things started with presents from Gigi. Of course she had to put messy candy and noisy toys!
Once getting to Dallas we tried to entertain the kids and give them a "vacation" before the festivities began. 
Friday night festivities began with the dress rehearsal dinner. When in Dallas Mexican food is a must!!! By the way these two were so helpful all weekend! I am not sure what Drew and I would have done without their help. (Whitney is Drew's sister and Alex is her boyfriend.) 
The trip started with a five hour drive to Oklahoma.
