Baby G Makes Three

My bestie got hitched in Colorado Springs this weekend, and the Grant Gang made the trek out there to join in on the fun!  We decided to drive for several reasons, mainly the $400/person airfare and the ridiculous amount of stuff we needed to bring for the wedding, the Bachelorette Party, and for Noah. We left on Tuesday afternoon, drove as far as we could make it (which ended up being Clayton, NM) and then completed the 720 mile drive on Wed.  Noah was SUCH a trooper.  He certainly wasn't thrilled about the car ride, but he he hung in there. 

We got to see my Grandmother, Aunt, and Uncle in Aurora on Wednesday evening, then headed back south to begin the wedding festivities.  Noah LOVED getting to see his Great Mor Mor (mainly her awesome walker... he thought it was the coolest toy ever) and getting to meet Uncle Russ and Aunt Linda.  They brought him a pretty cool toy, too, which ended up being one of his favorite things to play with the whole trip!

Thursday evening was Carrie's Bacheloretty Party... it was VERY Carrie.  We went to a wine and tappas bar, then headed back to the hotel bar to hang with her friends and family.  Definitely one of the most laid back bacheloretty parties I have ever been to, which was awesome!

On Friday we went to a local park.  Noah got to swing, and he was in heaven!  (maybe he was just really happy to get out of that darn hotel room!?)  Friday evening was the rehearsal dinner, and Noah, as always, was quite the ham.  He had everyone (literally) wrapped around his litle fingers by the end of the night!  Micah and I laughed when people came to say hi to Noah (greeting him by name)... and had no clue who we were.  ha!  Regardless of how tired he was, he always had enough energy to cheese it up and smile. 

Saturday was the big day.. hair, pictures, and wedding fun!  Carrie looked gorgeous, was on cloud nine, and was SUCH a chill bride.  BJ is a lucky dude...

Noah, as always, hammed it up on the dance floor.  Carrie's niece and nephew, Maeve and Cohen, joined N and had a blast! 

We headed back to Texas early Sunday morning in the hopes of making it back to A-town in one day... and we were successful!  Even N was excited to be home.. when we walked into his room (at 10pm) he got a big smile and started kicking his legs.  I guess even a 7 (2 hours away from 8) month old knows that there is no place like home!!

It was such a sweet weekend getting to stand up for my best friend and the love of her life, supporting them as the joined each other as husband and wife!  Somehow I didnt get a pic of them together on their wedding day, but I did get a pic of them muggin' down the night of her bacheloretty party!
