From Their Eyes

Back over Labor Day weekend, we were fortunate enough to attend the wedding of some good friends of ours. Ok, I say ours - but Matt was a high school friend of Andy's, and I accept friendship via proxy.  He's a great person too, so that helps.  Matt met his wife Elodie when he was working in Canada. She was from Paris and was spending time on an internship in Montreal.  They actually married in a civil ceremony about a year and half ago - but had to keep things pretty low key because of citizenship, etc. Then they had a baby, Emma.  Then they had the big wedding.

The setting of the wedding was at an old barn-type chapel outside of our town, and it was hot. Really hot.  Like sweating in our seats and through our clothes hot.  My choice of my silk dress to stay cool was a dumb one.

The girls were getting a little antsy during the wedding, so I let them use my camera. Some of these pictures are pretty comical. And not flattering at all.

It was hot. I was sweating. In my silk dress.

Taylor became great friends with this little boy. She was so sad when he had to leave.

My earrings.

Taylor loved Elodie's dress. 

Taylor took a picture of our table.  Well, half of it.

Taylor and Connor both were big fans of the cake.

Taylor liked this dress. She asked if I could get one like it. Not likely.  Pretty sure it would not look the same

Connor was in a dancing mood.

Not sure where this move came from.

Well, there are Matt's moves.  

More dancing (obviously, they are no longer taking the pictures)

Taylor paid her dollar for the dollar dance...to dance with Elodie.

Andy and his girls dancing.

We tried to take a family picture before we left. Not a fan of how it turned out.

Five

Five. Can you believe it? It just amazes me. Taylor wanted to invite her friends to our house for her party this year, which is the first time ( other than their 1yr party) we've had friends over that weren't family or family friends. We decided to do a half sleepover....the kids came in their Pj's and went home around 8:30 after watching a movie. We called it a 'night owl' party....owl cupcakes, owl decorations, owl s'mores ad treat bags. They decorated pillow cases, beat up a piñata, had a silly string 'war', made pizzas, and then watched a movie. Some of the parents stayed, which helped. Five year olds are crazy!!
