The Big Day

On the big day the girls got up early and headed to the reception site to set-up.  Then back home to get ready.  In our house we had Troy, Jake, Audi, and myself to get ready.  I planned on getting Gracie and Nolan ready at the church, this meant I had to pack a million things.  I even pulled over once going down the street to double check that I had everything, I freaked myself out a little bit.  Once at the church a series of events occurred, they went something like this.

First, Gracie tripped on her way into the church, skinning her elbow and knee.  I then curled Gracie's hair and put her dress on.  She then ran into the wall, walking, I thought she maybe exaggerating when she was crying but then her nose started bleeding, no worries, aunts and mema got that all fixed up.  While Aunt Audi explained to the family what happened Gracie tuned in with "I'm so embarrassed".  I am not sure if she know what that means but it broke my heart.  We then headed outside for pictures, where Gracie stepped on the front of her dress, which pulled out the pleats.  You could hardly notice and when she walked on the floor at the church seemed just fine.  When it was time for the wedding Gracie and Sawyer did great.  However when Gracie dropped the petals on the floor she bent forward and stepped on the dress and tripped a little.  Not much, but this caused the flower to come out of her little basket and she proceeded to pick them up.  At that point I just prayed she would not start crying with everyone watching.  But she did great she stood up and continued down the isle.  Smart girl picked up her dress and continued on perfectly.  Bless her little heart.  No one even seemed to notice what happened, most missed the tripping part.

Over all the kids did great and were so cute!  I will post a few of my favorite and the rest will be on FB(click the letters FB to be direct to the pictures even if you don't have facebook).
