After our hike in the mountains we headed to 'town' (a.k.a. Anchorage) for the beginning of the wedding festivities with the rehearsal & rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal went smoothly, other than the wind....which thankfully was gone by the next evening! The flower girls practiced running down the aisle and all was well.
The world's cutest flower girls! All ready to go!
After much deliberation my Mom decided to rent the Hilltop Ski Chalet for the rehearsal dinner which enabled extra decorating and practice time. But that meant she had to figure out something for dinner there...she decided on Donuts and Dogs....very fitting for my little bro!
The Stamoolis clan came and grilled our gourmet dogs. They made it a family affair, all three boys came along including Kaleb, the middle one, demonstrating the best way to eat a hot dog above. They also made some very yummy caramelized onions.
And then it was time for dessert - donuts. Pretty much Keeton's favorite food, I think! Our local donut shop made a lot of donuts and Mom made these donut 'cakes.' I will note -the one that was the most eaten at the end of the night was at the table of the groom & groomsmen!
Kaleb ate his donut and didn't leave a crumb behind. Just a frosting smear or two!
The flower girls with Auntie Brittney. These girls love their Auntie Brittney. And neither is too keen on sharing her!So, after practicing up and then filling up with hot dogs and donuts we all headed home to get ready for the big day ahead!
