The VanSmithStrand Festival: The Party

We owe each and everyone who attended a huge thanks for creating a wonderful, unbelievable party. The photos speak for themselves:

The VanSmithStrand Festival: The Renewal of Vows

Before the party, we headed to the Olympic Sculpure Park near the Puget Sound. Taryn and Nick created a beautiful Bedeken and an amazing Ketubah. Judge Mamiya, with all his charm and humor, renewed our vows. And then we were busted for drinking in the park!

Festival Pics!

We want to thank our amazing photographer, Alice Wheeler! You can see her stuff at http://www.alicewheeler.com/ or at her gallery's website. We were and are honored to have her even consider shooting the festival, and are blown away by the photos!

The next 4 posts show some highlights. We couldn't post pics of everyone, although we may have everyone in something. So, we will send out pics of you guys over the holidays that aren't posted. Enjoy, and please comment!

Love,
Mike, Jess, and wee Lucy

Snow Day!

3 inches and the city shuts down. Cornish closed, so J stayed home with the chicken. Cuteness ensued.

Lucy's first snow

Oh what great hair

Just got back from t-giving, where we collected many Festival pics, so they are comig soon. Also, some t-giving pics soon, but, well, we use the word "soon" fairly liberally (read: inaccurately), so expect them sometime in March.

Now for the hair!
