Although our flight on Thursday out of Tucson was delayed 45 minutes, we had a smooth flight into Atlanta. Thankfully, the airport wasn't too terribly busy, and we had no problems getting our rental car and heading out to my mama's.
Friday night was the big event: the wedding. My nephew, Ryan, married his sweet Katie. It was a small family affair, but I must say it was the sweetest wedding I've seen. Katie's daddy is a minister and performed the ceremony. It was very personal and simply lovely. I am so glad we were able to attend.
Bill and I don't dress up often. I mean everything is so casual now days. Even at church, most folks, including us, wear jeans most of the time. So, it was fun getting dressed up a little. Here is a picture of us at the wedding reception.
In year's past it was tradition to throw rice when the just married couple left the church. Twenty years ago, when Bill and I were married, the tradition was to throw birdseed. Now, apparently, the tradition is for the newlyweds to leave among sparklers. It was really cute and fun.
Everyone survived the wedding beautifully, and we still had Christmas to celebrate. We all attended the Christmas Eve service at church, and then gathered at my sister's for a delicious brunch on Christmas, before Bill and I flew back to Arizona, and the newlyweds flew off to Paris.

Now this Christmas weekend has another special meaning for you to remember and all spent with family. Enjoy!
It's about time.
I should have waved Saturday night as I drove through Atlanta! Its so great to visit with family after a long absence. Glad your trip went well!
What a great Christmas you had! Hmmm I think I might have tried to fly off to Paris with them rather than back to Arizona!

What a wonderful idea - sparklers at a wedding. Enjoy the holidays and times with family and friends.
