Congratulations, Tina and Craig!

Susan's cousin Tina (Susan's mom's sister Kathy's daughter) got married last month in Las Vegas, so only their immediate families plus a few friends were in attendance at the wedding. Therefore Tina's mom and friends planned a surprise wedding reception for them in Dickinson last weekend (while I was still in Portland, so I know about it only through my family's tales and photos). Out-of-state relatives returned to surprise Tina and her husband, Craig, and Susan and the girls had a great time. Here are some highlights:

Back row: Laura (Susan's mom's sister Mary's daughter) and her son, Kaden; Lindsey (Susan's mom's brother's son Michael's wife) and her daughter, Cadence; Trista (Susan's mom's sister Kathy's son Todd's wife) and her son, Trae; and Christy (Susan's mom's brother's daughter) and her son, Matthew; Front row: Suzanna, Abigail, Hillary, and Susan

Laura, Kaden, and Cheryl (Susan's brother Jerrett's wife)

Fatigued toward the end of the night are Suzanna and Bailey (Susan's mom's sister Kathy's husband Pat's sister's granddaughter).
