Gift Opening

The day after the wedding Brad and I met friends and family for a yummy breakfast and then we all went to my folks house for the gift opening. I couldn't believe all of the generous gifts that we received from our friends and family. It was so nice to visit with family that I haven't seen in years and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. The weather was so pretty. Everyone was still pretty tired from the night of fun at the wedding. My hair was still curly from the wedding, I couldn't even put a brush through it since it had soooo much hairspray. I wore my shirt that I had made that said true north on the front and angel wings with my last name Tesch written on the back, just like brad's tattoo. I really like that shirt :) Everyone snacked on lunch that my mom made while Brad and I opened up the many many gifts that we received. It would take forever to list them all, but I'll list what I can :) My Grandma Snow White's gift was probably my favorite. She hand crocheted a table cloth for our home. I felt really special to get one since I was the only grandkid that she had ever made one for. When I was in Saskatoon visiting for my cousin Mitchy's wedding she was actually working on it then.....little did I know that at that point Brad had bought my ring and my grandma knew so she started to make me one. Its so special. My Aunt Audrey hand made a beautiful wedding quilt....yes I cried. It was so pretty. I gave my Cousin Russ a kiss to pass to my Aunt Audrey when he got home. We received a ton of gift cards from Bed, Bath, and Beyond....which I love, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Macy's and people contributed to our honeymoon registry which allowed us to pay for our airline tickets in full for our honeymoon to Hawaii! We received beautiful artwork, kitchen items, a very creative date night basket with blankets...popcorn...mike n ikes, honeymoon basket with his and her towels....magazine for our flight to Hawaii.....games to play on our honeymoon, a tent so that we can go camping, and so much more. My mother in law bought a beautiful Another one of our really neat gifts was from my coworker Diane, she bought Brad and I a really nice grill. Brad is really excited about it.....I am too.....now he can cook me dinner :) Brad and I are so grateful for the wonderful friends and family. I'm hoping to send out thank you cards soon with a wedding photo. I haven't gotten them yet, but I will very soon :)
