For Fall Break, we took a trip to California for a
big celebration. On October 5th, Uncle T and Aunt M got married! All the festivities were fun and fabulous. Good times was had by all!

| So where's platform 9 3/4, mom? |
Mama flew alone with the little monkeys. Thank Heavens for tablets!
 |
| Mama got her Martha on with rehearsal dinner decorations |
Since the rehearsal still fell within the
real Oktoberfest period, we decided to all continue our festivities during the wedding rehearsal and dinner.
