S before the wedding

We attended our first wedding together as a family, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure how G and S would do.  As it turns out, they had a ball and so did we!  They absolutely made the whole event enjoyable for all of us.  Just wait until you see the pictures of them on the dance floor…  Above is S looking over the ocean before the wedding started while the guys got their pictures taken.

The Ringbearer

G was quite the serious little ringbearer but he had trouble staying with the flower girl.  He was more interested in getting to his goal (standing next to Mr. Mike) and holding onto the shell holding the rings.  He held the rings, delivered as requested, and at the end exited the festivities by holding Mr. Mike’s hand instead of walking with the flower girl.  He must still be in the “she’s got cooties” stage.  I’m not sure.  Regardless, he was the most handsome little ringbearer ever.

S kept busy during the wedding

S worked on sand castles during the wedding.  Well, as much as you can in dry sand.  We then moved into the reception hall to enjoy the meal and the music.  Once the first dance was over for Larry and Jenn, G and S were happy to take over the dance floor.  Take a look.  G was helping S do spins and everything!  S also liked to push us off the dance floor so she could have the whole space to herself.  It was S’s personal stage apparently.  :)

Dancin'

Dancin' with mommy

Both kids had no shortage of dance requests for the dance floor.  They also invited themselves into many couples’ arms to join them in their dances.  Our children?  Shy?  Nope, apparently not.  It must be a recessive gene in mine and Chris’s DNA that became dominant in their DNA.

Another miracle?  Our children actually got Chris and I to dance in public *gasp* for the first time – you know, in front of real people and everything! We only dance by ourselves in the comfort of our own home because my musical skills usually don’t translate to my feet.  In public.  I’m still trying not to hyperventilate over that one, but I think we did manage to keep a good rhythm and look great!  Besides, everyone was watching the cute kids, right?  :)
