Monday I decided to take down the Christmas decorations (even though I wasn't ready). I thought I probably should get some stuff done around the house since I was going to be gone for the wedding the later half of the week.
Tuesday I packed for our trip to Cypress and ran all kinds of errands. I am really proud of myself for cutting back on the packing. The first time I took Eli to my parents, he was about 6 weeks old. I packed practically everything he owns. I don't know what I was thinking, but I remember Charlie looking in the back of my vehicle (which had baby stuff packed to the ceiling) and asking me if we truly needed to bring all that was packed.
Wednesday I had an appointment in the morning and the Winsman's were so sweet to babysit Eli for me!! Nancy teased me and said not to worry that they wouldn't be gone at the go-cart's too long with Eli. :)
Before we left for Nancy's I just HAD to dress Eli up in his new hoodie from Auntie Bonnie and cousin Heather. They sent him this Yankee's hoodie for Christmas and I LOVE it!! Charlie on the other hand, laughed when I opened it (he's an Astro's fan) and jokingly said, "He can't wear that!"...
After I picked Eli up from the Winsman's, we were headed to Cypress! Charlie had to work on New Year's Eve, so I took Eli and Lulu and we went a day earlier to visit with relatives in town for the wedding.
Eli got to meet his Great Nana and Great Grandpa Nuber! They just loved Eli and were amazed at what a content baby he is.
Eli also met Uncle Jim for the first time. He was very relaxed and calm when Uncle Jim held him.
My Aunt Karen Lee spent a lot of time watching Eli and talking with him and I cannot believe I did not get a single picture of her with him! How is that possible?!?
I did get a sweet picture of Aunt Karen Lee with Grandpa...
Also a good one of Aunt Karen Lee and Dad...
After a great evening and dinner, it was time for bed.
Eli had a long day...
The next morning we got up and had a few errands to run for my brother's big day. :)
Eli was bright-eyed and ready to go!
My brother and Samantha planned their wedding and reception in my parents backyard. Everything looked so pretty!! Their colors were black, white and silver. They also had a square shaped theme--the glasses, dishes and even the cake were square! I went outside and took some pictures of the wedding details prior to the wedding.
The centerpieces...
The place settings...
Bride & Groom glasses...
The bridal bouquet...
The delicious cake...
The pretty cake topper! (She's a "Nuber" now!)
Since their wedding was on New Year's Eve, they also had New Year's party favors. Brandon was pretty excited about the party horns!
While I was taking pictures, the bride was getting her hair done for her big day...
The bride was almost ready, so it was time to get Eli ready for his Uncle Chris and Aunt Samantha's wedding!
You know I dressed him in style :)
The bride was ready and she looked BEAUTIFUL!!
My *sister-in-law* and I...
We headed outside to take family pictures.
There was the most AMAZING sunset the evening of their wedding...

My sweet, wonderful, handsome hubby made it in time after a day at work!!
While we were waiting for the ceremony to begin, our close friends Courtney and her husband Todd arrived. :)
Courtney and Todd LOVE Eli to pieces...
The four of us...
The ceremony began. It was a lovely ceremony! The pastor did a wonderful job making their union special and personal.
Saying their vows...
Introducing "Mr. and Mrs. Nuber!"...
The bride & groom's first dance... ( I LOVE this picture!)
They surprised my Mom and Dad and had their wedding song played for them to dance to. "Annie's Song" by John Denver was my parents wedding song. Of course, my Dad had to be silly :) ...
Mom and her baby boy...
We all had such a wonderful time celebrating the marriage of Chris and Samantha and ringing in the New Year!!
To all of our friends and family, we would like to wish you all the best in 2010!! May your year be blessed with love and joy!
