The Wedding of Abigail and Ryan Nastase: The Morning After

The morning after the beautiful wedding, Abby's mom graciously hosted a brunch & gift opening at the Dotzenrod's lake cabin. She had prepared trays of delicious baked egg dishes...such an amazing variety, of course, all cooked to perfection. The spread was generous and yummy, such a welcome treat on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the breakfast, you'll have to take my word that it was scrumptious!

The weather was clear and crisp, after the rainy previous days, it was so nice to sit outside on the beautiful lake and compare notes on the previous wedding festivities. Abby and Ryan were blessed with many wonderful wedding gifts, it was fun to watch them ooh and ahh over their treasures and sentimental cards.

Collin had fun being pulled around the property in this cool wagon...and it's great peace of mind for his mom and dad to have him under their watchful eye!



It was time to get dressed after playing in the lake and Collin was feeling two. (It had been a full week of tons of fun activities and probably nap time as well!)

The picturesque Dotzenrod Cabin

Back in Omaha on Monday, while I was at the reception site preparing for Jack's baptism, Erin, Matt and Collin came to hang out in the pool with Dad and the girls. Jack looks so at home in his big sister's arms!


My niece, Natalie and nephew, Nathan, joined the kids and Uncle Chris in the pool. It was such a great time and the kids all enjoyed playing with their cousins.

  1. Great pictures!! :) Thank you for recapping everything from the weekend!

    I did have to laugh out loud when I read the whole "picturesque Dotzenrod cabin". Such a glorious estate ;) But I still love it!

  2. Oh this makes me miss the lake!! The brunch was so much fun. I am glad you guys were able to make it over - I am sure it was nice for you to see the cabin after hearing Abby talk about it. It is nothing fancy, but it is our little slice of heaven!!
