Ellie and Eli

Early in the week of Christmas, our niece, Ellie got married in Idaho Falls.

She married a great guy named Eli :)...Ellie and Eli!

There's a ton of pictures here but I won't say a lot.

Uncle Dan is always so kind to greet and pay attention to Ben...

The kids hung out in the visitor's center during the sealing and then we met outside the temple for pictures.

Josh and Eli had an interesting hug sandwich with Hailee caught in the middle...

The luncheon and reception venue was pretty cool...

Of course Ben was busy on his iPad :)

Cute Cousins!

A lot of down time...

Ben fell asleep by the beginning of the reception.  We did a quick "Favorite Things" moment (minus Becky since she was busy elsewhere) while Ben slept in my lap.  We spent quite a bit of time in that position and then Merill came along toward the end and offered to take him for me so I could watch the cake cutting.

We were trying to get on our way to drive home but it took us a while to say goodbye to everyone.  Josh especially was taking his time knowing it would be the last time seeing many of them for two years.

I had a hard time not taking pictures of all of the goodbyes :)

This next sequence of pictures with little Preston were some of my favorite of the night :)
