Wedding Brunch Part Two

Here are some more pictures from Steph & Dan's wedding brunch! What a fun weekend--it was great to see everyone back visiting in Seattle again!

It just so happened to be Rachel's birthday on Sunday as well, so the three of them shared a cake :)

Post-Wedding Brunch

Here are some pictures from the brunch Chelsea's parents hosted after Steph & Dan's wedding a few weekends ago. It was held at the house they rented in Issaquah and it was lots of fun!

On Monday night after the wedding weekend, Aunt Cathy and Uncle Sandy had us over for dinner with Barry & Cindy and good family friend's, Dick & Jody Swinney. It was fun to get to spend time with them! On Tuesday they all went kayaking on Lake Union and had a good lunch at local favorite Mexican restaurant Agua Verde, yum!

Pictures from our after dinner walk around the neighborhood and sights around Lake Washington. It was a very fun and memorable weekend! Congrats Steph & Dan!

Psychadelic Fur Coat

So what's the story with the fur coat? Well, Aunt Cathy had this fur coat that Chelsea borrowed and wore to an over-the-hill birthday party for our friend Stacy a few years ago (we were all dressed up like old ladies). We're over at Aunt Cathy's for dinner Thursday night and she said she's getting rid of the coat and asks Chels if she wants it--she says no, so Cathy is going to donate it. Cousin Megan looks interested, so Aunt Cathy gives it to her, and so it begins...

Meg brings the coat to the lodge (she's visiting from CA, what else is she going to do with it? I'm surprised Uncle Brian and Aunt Laura didn't "accidentally" leave it behind at the Seattle hotel...) and then at the reception the fur coat makes an appearance. Well, it turned into quite the show-stopper! Everyone and their mother (literally) got a picture with it and here's the proof:
