Justin & Kaitlyn's Arizona Reception

Saturday morning found us girls driving to the community center to get things ready for the day. It was raining when we arrived around 6:00. After setting up the tables and chairs we set to work at getting the decorations out. I was so thankful to have Juliana, Joanna, Kaitlyn and her two sisters Lilia and Hope there to help. Everyone pitched right in and we got done in half the time I was expecting.
::favors::
The Sangers brought out a lot of the decorations from the wedding.



Instead of ferns for the center pieces, I used barley from the field next to our house.
The gift table.


After we got everything finished we came back to the house to get everyone ready. And then we were off...

Around 90 people showed up.

Thanks to Jenny and Micah for working in the kitchen!!
We had a good meal of rolls, harvest potatoes, meatballs, salad and cherry dessert cups.
The happy couple! :)







Brother Tim Amalong brought Eegees for the children! Thank you Brother! :)

Kaitlyn's Dad let Justin and Kaitlyn pick two other couples to play a game with them. "Who knows their spouse the most?" Justin and Kaitlyn won!! :)





The reception went great! :)
Afterwards everyone came to our house for volley ball.
Picking teams!
We ended up setting up Kaitlyn's net next to ours that way everyone could play.

Visiters From PA and Reception Preparation

We decided to have a wedding reception for Justin & Kaitlyn here in Arizona for the people that weren't able to make it to the wedding. We were glad that Kaitlyn's family was able to join us for a few days. Before I go any farther I would like to thank Lilia for letting me borrow some of her pictures!! :)  It's nice having another person taking pictures when you are busy! ;)

Anyway, Kaitlyn took her family up to the Strong Hold and the boys got to go along.
The Joshua's :)
The adorable couple! 
Half Moon Tank.



Joshua caught a gopher snake. They also came across a rattle snake.
Everyone over for homemade icecream!

Yummy!!








Uriah and Benjamin
Sunday School after church.
It's always more fun when there is more people to join in with the singing! :)

Playing a trivia game.

Memorizing bible verses.

 {Reception Preparation}

We planned a full meal for the reception, so it was so nice having everyone's help! Thank you so much!!
Juliana came a few days ahead to help with the preparations.
Making meat balls.
Lots of laughs as we worked!
Jenny made dozens of amazing sweet rolls!!
Did I catch someone high fiving in the back ground? ;)
Don't they look amazing!? And I promise they taste as good as they look!! Mmmm!
Making dessert cups..


We figured for around 100 people.
So I got this really cool Idea off of Pinterest, (Thank God for Pinterest!) of putting the pictures in the little logs. Joshua quick cut them out for me and I ended up using them for the food and drink names as well.
I loved how they turned out! :)

Well, that's all for now! Stay tuned for pictures of the Reception!
