Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Hanson!

Congrats to our friends Abby and Casey, who got married last night! It was a beautiful venue (The Pioneer Park Pavilion in downtown Puyallup) and a very heartfelt ceremony (especially the part where Casey got down on his knee in front of Jackson and promised to love and protect him, too...Ugh!!). Everyone looked great, the food was yummy, and the music was upbeat...a perfect setting for a fun night!
Abby's son, Jackson...the ring bearer :)
A proud papa :) Here comes the bride!
Jackson wanted a piece of cake cut for him, too :)

You gotta keep an eye on this girl ;)
The newlyweds...Mr. and Mrs. Casey and Abby Hanson :)

I wish I had a picture of Taylor is her pretty little red and cream, plaid dress :( We had planned on letting her stay for awhile and then my mom and dad were going to pick her up and take her home with them (they were having dinner at the Black Angus right up the road). Well, about half-way thru the wedding ceremony we knew she wasn't going to last long! She just couldn't sit still and wanted to be up running around. She was still pretty good, but we knew that neither of us would really be able to enjoy ourselves if we had to be chasing her around and keeping her out of everything all night. So, Matt packed her up and took her to The Black Angus, where my parents were surprised, but very glad to see her! Apparently she kept the whole restaurant entertained while they were there...doing tricks like standing on her head and playing peek-a-boo in the booth, waving and saying hi to everyone that passed, and scoring a big bag of presents under the table of an unsuspecting party celebrating a birthday! My dad blamed it on her slippery dress that he couldn't keep a hold of her ;) I know the photographer at the wedding snapped a few pictures of her while she was cruisin' around waiting for the wedding to start, so hopefully we'll get one of those :)
Later today, I'm off to help my cousin Amanda start her bridal registry at Target! Her and Cory tried to go together, but it didn't go well. So, I'm gonna give her some pointers and hopefully get her a good start since I'm sending her shower invitations out next week! Should be fun! :)
