December 20, 2008, Definatley, deserserves its own post! Because it was absolutley a crazy day, full of family, friends, Plays, and parties!! The day started off with Chase and Corrine Gentry's Wedding! They were sealed in the SLC Temple at 7 o'clock in the AM!! So, we woke up around 5:30am. We both were so tired but We made it to the sealing and were so happy to be there for Chase and Corrine and glad that they are now married!! We have been good friends with them since high school. We both dated our husbands through our senior year. Then the boys went on their missions and the girls waited.. and waited.. untill about two months before chase got home Corrine decided that she was going to go on a mission.. so I waited and waited... and soon enough.. They all came home!! Corrine returned about two months ago.. yep, engaged and married within two months of being home! They sure know that the best way to go.
Next, we went back to our house and being the gym rats we are.. we went to the gym. Came back home got ready again and went to Chase and Corrines Wedding Luncheon! Which was a great experience. All of the boys stood up and shared some pretty embarrising stories about Chase. We all had a good laugh, There are so many stories that it kept us entertained for at least an hour..
After the Luncheon we were able to attend our nieces play "Babes in Toyland" at the childrens theatre in Salt Lake. Ariella played the part of a sheep and was the cutest sheep there. We were so proud of her!
Here are a few pictures of Ariella's Play! She is such a talented little stinker, and so so creative. Let me just tell you I hung out with her for about ten minutes and I was already in dress up clothes planning a play to show the family.. it was pretty good I must say, She made up the lines for us and the whole plot. I was pretty impressed. I think the family was to, maybe just suprised to see me in a bright purple princess dress with a lovely bonnett. It was actually alot of fun, she reminds me of well, me when I was little. I think she will continue acting through her whole life. After the play, We headed to the Hale Christmas Party!!





As you can tell it was quite the party!! Santa was their and even aunt and uncle reindeer!! It's never a boring night with this bunch around!! After the party we went to Chase and Corrinne's Reception!! for the final stop of the day!! There cake was so so cute! It was a gingerbread cake with a gingerbread man and woman on top!! They had these way cool candy things that cindy and I couldn't stop playing with they were so cool. And of course receptions are always a good way to run into friends you haven't seen in awhile! So here is a pic of Carissa, Genny and I, while the boys were out decorating the car.


That has got to be the longest post I have ever done!! and its only one day!!
But it was a good one!!
