J/J Rehearsal Dinner

On Friday, April 3, we had John and Jackie's rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner was held at Reata Pass in North Scottsdale and it was a BLAST! The kids were all decked out in their cowboy gear complete with boots. It was a great time for all the families that came from near and far to get together for a night before the big celebration. We dined on ribs and steaks, potatoes, and cowboy beans... YUMMY! The band was quite good and we got a few shots of the dancing that was going on. Marcus had a great time following Aiden around and Kalli had fun walking up and down the ramp. Personally, I think liked hearing her boots on the wood floor. It was a great time thanks to John's parents. (George and Becky)
I must warn... there are a lot of pictures following this message.
