Natalia the flower girl

This weekend was my cousin Flora's wedding!  Natalia got the honor of being her flower girl and I was tickled pink over it.  ;)  She did AMAZING!  During rehearsal she seemed a little frightened and intimidated but as soon as we had her make friends with the Maid of Honor and held the ring bearer's hand down the isle she seemed ok... and it worked!  I talked it up big time all day Saturday and tried to make it sound like the most fun thing ever.  Also reminding her that everyone she knows and loves would be there watching.  At times I thought for sure she would freak out and not make it down the isle... and for sure she wouldn't stay standing up front... but she did!!  Sweet thing had a look of terror on her face at times but she was still so stinking cute. 

The wedding itself was pretty dang beautiful!!  There was a smores bar and everything!  Loved it.  The food was delish and my cousin looked so glamorous.  I can't wait to see the professional pictures, but for now my pictures will have to do.  I thought I had lost my camera after rehearsal Friday night, so everything on Saturday was taken with my phone.  BUMMER.  Luckily Charlie found my camera in the car, I don't know how I didn't see it in there.  Just glad to have it back though! The girls did great for such a long afternoon/evening and seemed to really enjoy themselves as well.  We got a lot of compliments from the ring bearer's parents about how well behaved they were and what a good eater Natalia was.  Sometimes I think we might be actually getting this parenting thing right.  ;) He he he.  Anyway, I'm sad it's over but love that we got to see so much family and celebrate.  After they did the daddy/daughter dance with Flora and her dad they invited other daddy/daughters out to the dance floor. Charlie took Natalia out to dance.  Seriously made me cry.  She was exhausted at this point so they snuggled more then danced but I loved it.  Stupid phone only took blurry pictures, but at least I got it on camera.  Someday when it's their turn to do this for real, I'll be able to look back on this picture as well.  Ahhhhh.....
