Flower Girls




Last Saturday my girlies had the ultimate little girls dream come true and got to be flower girls in "Miss Liz's" Wedding. Liz Shea was a very special friend and babysitter the past few years and after years of waiting married the man of her dreams, Mr. Michael Connolly.



"Smile, Abigail!"


To make being flower girls even better, they got to be "flower ballerina's" complete with handmade tutu's, ballerina slippers and flower wands. AND three of my girls best friends were flower girls with them!! They LOVED that!

Alathea, Abigail, Emma, Sarah Evelyn and Kathryn



And, as if it couldn't be any better, Ju-Ju (my sister Julie) was a bridesmaid in the wedding!! If she wasn't in the wedding, at the end of the isle waiting for them, I don't think Abi would have ever made it!

After getting their "hair done" by Miss Stephanie (another favorite), there was MUCH excitement when Miss Liz finally arrived!

My little Momma's girl quickly lost the excitement during the photo's...fortunately Liz has a great sense of humor and laughed at the situation, despite four incredibly amazing photographers ready to take pictures!


Sweet girl was happier by her lonesome :)

After the sobbing during pictures, and daily naptime already upon us, I began to wonder if Abigail would ever make it down the isle. Miraculously she did! After the three other flower girls danced their way down the isle (like they were supposed to), my two girls froze as soon as they walked in the auditorium (I think they were stunned to see hundreds of people looking at them)! They looked back for a way to escape, but the doors they walked through were closed! So, Alathea being the great big sis she is, gently pushed Abigail on her back, all the way down the isle to were JuJu was.

Here they are with Charlotte before heading down the isle:


The soon to be Mr & Mrs
(who now wonderfully live across the street from us)


The lovely bridesmaids

So happy Julie was there!!

We shamelessly bribed Abigail with the promise of a cupcake if she walked down the isle.
She was one very happy girl after the ceremony!!

Happy girl with two of her best buds

And a few more pics of the little lovely ladies...






The entourage of photographers took the girlies outside after the ceremony.
They got some cute pics of the the big girls...and there was my little Abi, off doing her own thing again. I love my sweet baby girl!

They were SO cute! Alathea definitely has firstborn syndrome. Haha. It can be very helpful! ;)
