Next, we headed to Todd's grandparents place in Paradise Valley. Probably one of my favorite places in the world to spend time. We take walks to the river, eat great meals fresh from the (HUGE!!!) garden, sleep in, and enjoy happy hour every night on the deck. Truly relaxing.
And Ginny got to meet her namesake, her great-grandma!

Then it was on to Billings for all the wedding festivities. We snuck in an opportunity for a family picture at the rehearsal BBQ at Jessica's parent's house. It was a fun and rowdy night with all the Periuses and Friedmans cutting loose a little- getting warmed up for the big day :)
We took home one tired baby.
Another family picture- I'm dressed in my bridesmaid's dress and ready to go. Todd and Ginny got ready at the last possible minute to preserve their clothes from the inevitable spit-up as long as possible.
Ginny looked so cute in her little poofy dress- and she did great all night. She danced with the Bride during the dollar dance and got passed around all the family at the reception- everybody loves a baby!
Jessica picked really elegant colors for the wedding- navy and silver, with pops of pink in the flowers and details. She had stargazer lilies for her bouquet and it was a beautiful and bright. Ginny and I painted our toenails to match :) Painting an infants toenails required quick-drying polish, tiny paint brushes and lots of nail polish remover. In the end, it was pretty adorable.
Sunday was a day spend on the road, but we fit in a stop in Deer Lodge to meet my college friend Brook for a visit. We met in the dorms when we lived a few doors apart in South Hedges, and have a decade long friendship. It's always nice to get some time together.
