Bren and Frida's Wedding

My cousin Bren got married on July 22nd. He got married in the Salt Lake Temple. Justin didn't have any extra vacation days so he had to stay at work and just Lydia and I went to the temple. My cousin Carson was nice enough to volunteer to chase Lydia around the temple during the ceremony. He really is a great guy!The ceremony was wonderful and we were able to listen to part of it in Swedish since Bren's wife, Frida, is from Sweden and that is where Bren served his mission.It was a pretty hot day and waiting for the group pictures took a little longer than normal so everyone was trying to find some shade to hide in. This is my grandpa.Jillian was nice enough to chase Lydia around while we were waiting the pictures. Lydia doesn't know how to hold still at all!
The reception was held in my aunt's backyard. It was the perfect location for a reception too. They did popcorn, ice cream cones, snowcones, a Swedish dish, and cupcakes for the dessert. It was fun because they had each thing set up at a different location. My uncle Darrin was in charge of the popcorn.Lydia loves playing in the little stream that runs through the backyard.Lydia also loved the trampoline and kept trying to get me to jump on it with her.
Her favorite part was the ice cream cones though. She actually had two during the night. The first one was given to her, but the second one she stole right out of Carson's hands. I guess she figured that since she was such good buddies with Carson that he wouldn't mind.We can ask Lydia how old she is and she will tell us. She gets excited to do it. It's pretty funny to watch. She is saying that she is one!She also has started saying uh-oh a lot. She used to say oh no, but it is now more of an uh-oh and she always covers her mouth when she says it.It was a fun wedding, and as always, it was lots of fun to see (almost) the entire family.
