Utah...it never gets old

11:30 AM

First time we've all been together in 3 years



What's winter without snow? Thanks, Utah.

Any time I get to spend with our nephews is precious time



We made snow angels in snow that was up to his waist :)

She's the prettiest

Sibling dinner. Brett is always too busy for us. :(

Favourites

Bachelor party in a suite at the Jazz game

We did some research before our Utah trip for some new, great places to eat. Happy we made it to Sweet Lake - Biscuits and Limeade

Eggs Benedict is my go-to on any breakfast menu. This one with local eggs, fresh made biscuits and red quinoa hash browns gets two thumbs up from me. HOWEVER, the winner of the menu is definitely the pancakes! They are called Conspiracy Cakes. They grind the flour fresh every day and you can absolutely taste the difference. That's probably the conspiracy...

Before heading back to London, we took some family pictures in the snowy canyon



I love my people

Larson Wedding 2017 + my newest sister!

11:00 PM



The cutest

We got to celebrate with Danielle at the Grand America Afternoon tea

Then it was off to set up for the rehearsal dinner!





It's so hard being so cute.

Standing around waiting to be call for family pictures.

Couldn't be a cuter or grumpier ring bearer.

Ezra + Shirley partying it up before Ezra's bedtime


Wedding photo-booths are my favourite

This is the kind of thing that happens when you leave your phone with your friends. Joke is on you, dears.
They filmed our musical number so thank you! If you want to see it, let me know.

But seriously, every Larson wedding needs a Jon + Susanna. These guys saved the day in so many ways! Love you guys.



Woot woot! It was a beautiful send-off

Selfie with sparklers is not a good idea



Great day, sad it had to end because I adore my family but beyond happy to have gained a sister!

Cute little babushka kept us smiling as we checked out of the Grand and headed back to real life.

Valerie and Eston 2015

9:30 PM



I adore this girl. From the first time I met her, we clicked. We were assigned to be companions while serving LDS missions in Argentina. I hadn't spoken English for nearly 9 months (other than emails home to my family, which were awkwardly half Spanish, half English anyway) and Valerie was still working on her Spanish. It was an awkward and hilarious time. So many experiences that bonded us like no other 5 weeks in anyone's life could have. Without going into Too Much Information, she took care of me when I was crazy sick, we survived several days without electricity to heat our apartment or water in dead of winter, weird food and broken toilets. Extreme bonding time.
So when she not-so-slyly told me that she was getting married in March, I HAD to be there!

President and Sister Gulbrandsen are some of my most favourite people on the planet. Steff flew in for the day and it was lovely to see her. We were all companions at some point. Love these people.

I mean, we're really cute. haha

Some of the friends that just hung around the temple for a while. Mostly because of our insane love for Val Pal. (Jess, Katherine, the beautiful bride, me and Steffannie)


Oh yeah! Eston was there, too.... haha

All photo credit goes to Mikki Platt, wedding photographer extraordinaire, who also did our wedding pictures. I will forever be obsessed with our photos and Valerie's are just as amazing! Mikki has photographed cousins and friends since our wedding and she's not only a talent behind the camera but the sweetest person ever!

Camille and Chad

Camille got hitched!

5:34 AM

Ever since I met Taylor, I heard about his cousin Camille. He was actually texting her during our first date! It makes sense when you know how big a University of Utah fan Camille is and how close she is with the whole Larson clan. They would discuss every football game even if they weren't watching together. 


So from the first date, I knew Camille was special. She has passion, an amazing sense of humor and all-around fantastic personality. Camille's just the greatest. 

When she met someone and got engaged in record time, there was some shock but we were all so happy for her! She knows what she wants and they went for it. 

March 22, 2014, we made our way to the beautiful Salt Lake City temple. I loved everything the sealer told them about marriage and what it means to have started their new life together in the House of The Lord. 


This girl didn't even want a wedding dress but she rocks it! What a babe!

Meet the Fishbine's. Camille and Chad fell head over heels for each other and doesn't it show? Look at the love shining from those faces. 

Anyone who knows Camille should not be surprised that the Ute colors draped the whole dinner in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Loved the red, black and white! 

Here comes the happy couple! 

First dance. Of course, it came AFTER she slipped in the Utah fight song and the Utes in the room stood to clap and sing with her. Classic Camille. 

Natalie (about 6 months pregnant) and her husband David flew in for the weekend. I also had to post this picture because of Nick's face. The whole family performed the cheesiest song in history to fulfill a promise made 13 years ago when Camille visited the Larson's in Connecticut and heard the song playing. 

You have to hear it for yourself. It was hard to get through the whole song without busting up. It's too much. 
Love Moves in Mysterious Ways by Julia Fordham. 

The Larson's can cut a rug. We had a great time on the dance floor. 

Can't beat the view from the Manchester room in the Memorial Building! 

And I had the best wedding date! Love that guy.
