Mr. and Mrs. Clausen

Congrats to Brooke and Daniel! The wedding was gorgeous just like the bride!

The before shot. She was already beautifully glowing for the big day!

Action shot. Calm, cool, and collected. She was born to be a Clausen

B not only had 2 matrons of honor as shown here, but 4 other bridesmaids, and 6 honorary bridesmaids who wore black. She is just too popular.

The was the awesome backdrop put together by Brooke and her dad I'm assuming (mr. crafty) for the alter piece!

The 1001 cranes turned out amazing!
I think this Japanese tradition is worth the paper cuts!

Cranes and twinkle lights as far as the eye could see!
(My folded cranes are the funny looking ones!)

They had a cookie bar- this is why we are friends!
I was asked to help bake, so I made the "Happily Espresso After" chocolate chip cookies as pictures here. Did you expect anything else. They were one of the first ones to go (I'm just sayin)

I am not going to mention how many were taste-tested by the Smith family.

The first batch came out a little crunchier than I would have liked, so the new Mrs. Clausen taught me a trick- stick some bread in a bag with the cookies, and voila! Moist-city.

Brooke's dress was gorgeous, and her mom's veil looked beautiful with it!

I love watching that first dance!

Thanks for letting me share in your day B!! Love you!

Cheers to the new couple!
May God bless you and keep you, all the days of your life!
Enjoy the most amazing journey ever!!!

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture. I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
