Uncle Greg & Aunt Jeannene's Wedding

Jeff's brother got married last weekend and they had a beautiful wedding in Normandy Park.  Juju slept through the entire reception in his pack n play right next to our table.  Leana was a beautiful little flower girl and she had a great time dancing and playing with the other kids.  Of course she also loved the cake and got the first slice after Greg and Jeannene.

Now, I know that "mother of the bride" is supposed to be a stressful role, but what about "mother of the flower girl"?  You have to get a three year old into a new dress and shoes (usually white) and then expect them to stay clean, put clips in their hair and expect them to stay in, get yourself dressed and presentable (and stay that way) and then hold them back when they are filled with the excitement of throwing petals and walking down the aisle.  Then you have to direct them down the aisle, hope they do what they are supposed to, and not make too much noise.  I guess the payoff is that they look SO adorable in their dresses and everyone oohs and aaahs about how cute they are.  Definitely worth it.  

 Most family pictures turn out like the one below, but we got one decent one!
