Dan and Lauren get married!!

 Dan and Lauren got married in the Bountiful Temple.  It was beautiful and I'm pretty sure I've never seen Dan look so happy.  It was a great day.  Nobody barfed.  Everybody was healthy.  I'm pretty sure my Mom and Sam were there.  It was an amazing day.  The bonus was we got to enjoy it all--no work required-no getting a barn ready for a reception on a cold winter evening (like my sister's).  We like to tease her but it really was nice to relax and enjoy the day with the bride and groom.

Love this picture.

Lucy really likes her baby cousin Adelaide.

All the Hess grandkids.  

My kiddos.  So happy for lots of pics.

There was a nice dinner instead of a reception and Esther was really pumped about being at such a fancy dinner.  She couldn't believe they were going to refill our lemonade all night and that they brought us three different plates.   

Lucy caught the "tossed" bouquet.  She was beyond thrilled about it.  She put the flowers in her room in a vase and plans to keep them forever.  

We are so excited to have Lauren become part of our family!!
