Riann's Wedding Party

Riann's Wedding Party includes:

Her older sister Jen, who lives in Arizona. Jen has a son named Jack (who has the same birthday as Alyssa, Sept. 5th), and a husband named Wayne.

Dana, Riann's younger sister who lives in Dallas. Here she is visiting Seattle!

Rachael, Riann's youngest sister, who lives in Virginia. She is looking forward to getting her drivers permit soon!

And Riann's younger brother Mike, who lives in Michigan. Mike's wife's name is Dana and they have a beautiful baby girl named Raeleigh.

Here are some fun pictures of all of them:

Mason Jars!

Mason Jars for drinks at the wedding! It is happening for so many reasons.

Just to name a few:

#1 My first lesson of canning anything happened last Thanksgiving thanks to Lee. We made a batch of Grama's FAMOUS Okanagan Relish! So they remind me of Lee and Grama.

Find step by step instructions and how Lee and I made the relish here.

#2 One of my favorite places in the world is Gruene, TX. At the Gristmill restuarant in Gruene they serve strawberry wine coolers in Mason Jars with a huge strawberry hanging off the side of the jar. I have had a few of those to say the least.

#3 They are so darn cute!

I am so happy to have Arielle, Abby, and Megan be my bridesmaids. Couldn't have asked for better friends, sisters, and pee your pants partners!

Arielle is the middle sister who lives in Vancouver close to the beach!

Abby is the baby sister who goes to UNT! There is a sunglasses theme going on here..

And Megan is the older "sister" who lives in Dallas. Alyssa and Megan went to high school and college together. (Here she is holding baby Jack, Alyssa's Godson.)
