He was a handsome groomsman! Here he is with another good friend from college, Cory.
I just had to include this picture because I thought it was so neat that Fish's grandmas were both able to watch their grandson get married.
It was the most beautiful winter wonderland wedding I have ever seen. My favorite touch was the bride's bouquet. I thought it was so unique and fitting for the event.
We even took a sleigh ride right after the ceremony.
As a result, we celebrated Baron's birthday the next morning! We rented an OLD (1900) farm house for 3 nights and invited all of the family. Both sets of grandparents, Aunt Alyson, Uncle Tyler and Aunt Carly all stayed with us. It worked out perfectly because it also gave us babysitters for the rehearsal night and the wedding! The first thing we did when we arrived was show Baron what a sled was for. He loved it! The farm house had chickens and we were allowed to have the eggs while we stayed there. So everyday Baron would go to the chicken coup in the sled and check for eggs. He really only liked the ride there and back. The chickens kind of scared him. There were also horses at the farm house and they would come right up to us and eat apples and carrots out of our hands. Baron loved that! The horses were beautiful - especially with the snow covered ground all around them.
We officially celebrated Baron's birthday on the 16th after the wedding, however it felt like we celebrated it the entire time we were there. Baron opened his gifts first thing. This is a picture of him opening a Thomas the Train book that came with little train toys. He LOVES it. Many hours have been spent playing with this since his birthday!
The Birthday Boy was hungry by lunch time and patiently waited for all of us to join him.
My little cheeser! I love this picture. He was eating one of his favorite meals - spicy pulled pork tacos with limes! He does not have the palate of a two year old.
Saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Weber. They had a plane to catch to Maui so none of us felt sorry that they had to miss the cake!!
Another neat feature about the farm house was that we could bring our dogs. They loved playing in the snow. Fred and Nate spent most of the afternoon (while the kids were napping) outside letting them run off their energy. When I looked out the window I couldn't stop laughing. I had no idea that they were part Amish (either that or relatives of Dwight Shrute for all of you who watch the Office).
Once the kids were up from nap (and it was late because they were worn out), we went outside in the rain to go sledding. It was alot of fun! Harper joined us, but I had forgot her snow suit so she had to wear Baron's spare pair of snow pants. A size 2T on a 6 month old is a little funny, but it worked.
Uncle Tyler and Aunt Carly had made a small hill in the yard while we were at the wedding. We all took a few turns going down.
Some of us more gracefully than others!
The kids were cold so they went inside with Grandma and Grandpa while the "big kids" searched for a better sledding hill. Grandma's make the best hot chocolate!
until he finally decided to eat his cupcake (but don't worry because I am pretty sure we all sang again at breakfast the next day!).

and sang again....
and again...
until he finally decided to eat his cupcake (but don't worry because I am pretty sure we all sang again at breakfast the next day!). After a long day it was time to cuddle up in the farm house and go to bed, but not without a stoy in the rocking chair with Grandma and Aunt Alyson!!
Happy 2nd Birthday Baron. We love you so much. This was a great birthday filled with many memories. You are a very lucky boy.
