Friday night parties

It was an exciting Friday night for our family. Adam and I went to a wedding, so G&G Nelsen were on Alyssa duty. They took her home with them and she spent the night partying it up like a rock star at Jacob's 16th birthday poker party with the rest of the Olsen family.

notice she doesn't know to hold her pretzel like a cigar . . . she's just trying to shove as much food in her mouth as quickly as possible. That's my girl!!!

I think it was Alyssa's advice that helped Anna win the big money . . . we seriously need to talk about getting a cut of that!



The wedding we went to was really nice. The reception was at the art museum downtown, which was absolutely stunning. I had always kind of thought it was a weird place for a reception given the layout, but it was very classic and sophisticated. We had a fun time hanging out with Asten, but if we could have eaten a little earlier, like within an HOUR of getting to the reception, and avoided the pesky "who should we eat first" incident things would have been a lot better. ;) Or at least be less stingy on the appetizers. Maybe "pushy wine guy" should have been in charge of those. I think I'll write a letter.

PS ~ Know what time Alyssa went to bed? 11 PM. Know what time her parents went to bed? About 11:15 and I felt like a total party animal. How sad is that?!?!?!
