Dixon Family Reunion/ Wedding, Part 1

In the middle of my trip to NM I flew up to Washington for the Dixon Family Reunion and Michelle's Wedding. I got there a few days before Logan and hung out with his family just doing fun silly stuff like minute-to-win-in games.

Logan and Clark (Michelle's new husband) were the last family members to get in on Wednesday and they got in just in time for our family temple session. They got 3 baby sitters and all the adults got to do a session together. It was really special all being there together.

The next day was family pictures and the banana run (5k). We had someone come take all the large group pics and then I took the individual family pics. It was a lot of fun and I'm still working on editing them. One of the funny things we did this year was take a pic of all the spouses.

I didn't get any pics of the run because I was too busy cheating. hehe. Lets just say it involved Logan pushing me up all the hills on a scooter and a shortcut.

Friday was wedding day! It was a beautiful Washington summer day!

Here's Michelle and Clark coming out of the temple. After big group pic,s Logan and me stayed behind with the photographer and the newly weds to them to the luncheon after. We held all their stuff and Logan followed with a bag of fruit snacks and water to feed them in between shots. 

After the luncheon was Reception prep! We all worked hard to finish up the last minute decorations and food prep for that night. 

Michelle got some beautiful flower arrangements from Pikes Market. Here is Logan showing them off. 

Michelle had a a cake made my a family friend. About a half hour before the reception I asked who was going to put the fresh flowers on top. That is how I got that job. I also enlisted Robin's help and I think we did a great job with the finishing touches. 

My job for the reception was to take the pics and Logan manned the dessert table (ice cream sundaes).

It was fun being able to help out and use my new camera! The only downside is that when you are on the other side of the camera you don't get many pictures of your self! I know this may seem strange but I actually like pictures of me. 

Thanks to Ryan, we got one of us at the reception. It was a great day and I am so glad that Logan and me were both able to be there!
