A Round Barn Kind of Evening

When Kip decided to get married in California, I was like, "What about all your OKLAHOMA peeps???"  She figured she would just have a "Super Fun" reception sometime in June.  We checked the baby sister's volleyball schedule (ridiculous) and the ONLY time available, (back in April, when we set things in stone) that Hallie could be there was June 14, Father's day Weekend.  So, we booked the Round Barn, and then, waited for June to roll around.

Then Hallie's team won regionals, and a tournament was cancelled and a tournament planned, and all the sudden baby sister wasn't going to get to be present for the reception. 

BUT in spite of the change, we pressed on, (and notice I say WE in all this).  By WE, I mean, Kip.  I got a DJ and bought a pillow that said, "Hey, Y'all".  That was about the extent of my "Helping".

Picked up my Cali Kids on Thursday late afternoon, and after a burger at Irma's and a pretty intense game of Life in grammie's living room floor, we called it a day.

Friday rolled around, and Kip was a food buying, flower pickin', organized frenzy of party planner.  She had already helped Brandon's mom Pam, put together one in California in May, so this wasn't her first rodeo, and as much as she wanted to see all her people, she was ready to just have an ice cream social in the park and call it good.  She had mailed a lot of signs and things (to the WRONG ADDRESS, for the love) (Hi neighbors, did you get another box for me at YOUR ADDRESS?) sigh.

Saturday was on us in a blink, and setting up, and laughing and SWEATING became the order of the day.  But once the friends and family started arriving, Fun was Definitely HAD. 

Brandon's mom, Pam, has the best costume props and Kip brought them all and set up a photo booth, and we had some serious fun in that baby.

 

 

FUN WAS DEFINITELY HAD .We danced (Well, Lacey danced), even at one point she boogied by and said, "Thanks for buying me a DJ, mom".  I decided we invited a bangload of Baptists.  No one dancing.  LOL.  But the few times we did dance, it was a blast.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Kip ever decided to get in the party planning, catering, wedding planning business she will be an instant success.  What fun and I have no idea why my page is doing this so I am signing off for now.
