playing a bit of blogging catchup here... but i'd be remiss if i didn't post a few pictures from claire and georg's united states reception.
back at the end of december, brian, lily, and i journeyed to wisconsin to celebrate again with claire and georg.
their u.s. reception was full of claire's homemade touches - the handknit hearts, gorgeous paper flowers, and lots of adorable hand drawn claire & georgs.
it was so special to get another chance to celebrate their union with claire and georg. especially because this time it included two important people who were missing from the portuguese celebration.
congratulations again claire and georg!! sending you so much love!!

ps - don't you just love georg's shirt?
i can't tell you how much it meant to us to have you and the whole family there. it was an absolutely unforgettable day and all the more because you were a part of it! i love you all exponentially!

Wait, I feel a song coming on!

Oh such beautiful pics. Looks like a very special time was had by all. They look so happy! I must say, that is a very special shirt! Lily looks so adorable with her little bunch of flowers. Ros

I think Claire and Georg win the 'longest ever wedding celebrations' prize hands down! It's so great that all of their family and friends got to share in some part or other of their special day!

Josie read my mind - it's a year of celebration for Georg and Claire! Which, of course, I think is quite fantastic!
