This weekend we hauled up to Kansas so that Claire could be a flower girl in a friend of our family's wedding. She was super excited, albeit a little nervous. But she did terrific! We went to Gram and Poppy's first. Gram and I were also in the wedding, as lectors. So we hung out there until Friday evening when the three of us went to the rehearsal. Claire had no problems making friends with everyone (surprise, surprise) and was as prepared for her walk down the aisle as the adults. We went to a dinner afterwards and arrived back at Gram and Poppy's late. There was another first for Claire this weekend: sponge rollers. I've discovered through several bouts of recital pictures that Claire's hair is getting worse about holding curl, and we wanted it curly for the wedding. So sponge rollers went in before she could sleep, much to the princess's dismay. But they turned out perfect, as did her hair Saturday morning, I must say! She looked darling. We got to the church in time to get dressed and then watch the bride get dressed also before taking a few pictures. Then the moment finally came...I was so nervous I was sweating. Not about reading, but about Claire making it down the aisle. She did so with ease, and the wedding and dance went off without a hitch. Geoff joined us at the wedding and we stayed at Nana and Papa's that evening. We woke up Sunday morning, had some play time with our cousins, and then headed home to relax and go to bed early. It was a good time, not only the flower girl part, but getting to see family too!
Landon wasn't left out of the fun...Friday evening was a "boys night". He hung out with Poppy and Unkie and went fishing and played Wii. Landon attended the wedding too, but had the most fun at the dance that evening. I'll get pictures on tomorrow of that crazy fun!
