The Bradley Bunch: Reception

Reception

There was a little luncheon after the sealing, then a couple hours before the reception began. Gotta pass the time somehow.

Grandpas have the best faces to photograph.

Except husbands are even more best. Just so handsome.

Sean snapped this of his Grandma and she was bothered by it until we showed her the photo and she said, "oh, that is good." :)

This guy is cousin Mike. Really, he's my kids' first cousin once removed. Liam and Dash called him Michael. And they thought he was the coolest. Probably because he was always making cool explosive sounds while ramming cars together and jumping off the pool table.

I think Mike liked all the kiddos, too.

The decorations were fantastic. A church gym is hard to transform, but it was done!

I think weddings have become infinitely cuter thanks to Pinterest. Oh how I wish there was Pinterest when I got hitched.

Behold, the cake. Isn't it lovely?

That flower, beautiful!

They also had a photobooth where Austin took poloroid-like photos of all the guests which were then put into a fabulous scrapbook. Aunt Michelle for the win!

And Aunt Michelle for the baby watching. It was so helpful to have people help out with Grey, I didn't have to worry about him the whole time I was photographing. (which I was doing for my own amusement, really. Since she had the photobooth, she said, "just take photos if you want." Several hundred pictures later...)

This water dispenser kept Liam and Dash busy at least 50% of the time. I don't know how many cups they filled or how many they drank (or how much they spilled) but it kept them happy.

Also, bubbles.

Worked on him.

And worked on him.

Remember the cake? It was smashed. Into faces.

And then, I left. With the kids. Grey had fallen asleep a little bit (around his typical bedtime) and woken up mad. Mad mad mad. So after Dash and Liam had their cake, the four of us headed home for bedtime while Sean took the photographic helm.
