Flower Girl Katelyn

Katelyn was THRILLED to be Annie's flower girl last weekend! She looked so adorable too. She had a BLAST and danced the night away with my cousin, David, who is 5.

I was Annie's Matron of Honor -so I was at the front of the church for her entrance, but could not see her. I did a quick look around -all eyes were on Katelyn- so as any good mommy would do: I walked dead center of the aisle and watched her coming in!!! NO ONE SAW ME!!! :-)

Katelyn took her petal tossing SERIOUSLY and made sure to cover it all very well. She didn't want to stop. Thankfully, Annie's friend, Paige (who was also in the wedding) did a great job helping with her (I was up on the altar area and the rest of the bridal party was not so I couldn't help with Katelyn at all).

The whole morning while we got ready Katelyn talked about weddings, dresses, rings, etc. She knows more than most 3 year old girls given what her mommy and daddy do, but she has a huge interest in them now! She wanted to know about the rings and thought she should get one too. I explained what they were for and how one day she would get one when her husband asks her to marry him (I got choked up telling her that) and another one one the wedding day. She said decidedly, "Okay, but I want a pink one with a big ladybug on it!" :-) (If I ever know of a pending engagement before she does I'll tell her husband-to-be to give her one just like that!)

Katelyn, in her own words, "danced the night away." She first danced with my cousin, Michael, who is 7. But then David, again who is 5, decided to claim Katelyn as his! It was just too cute!!! They were smitten with each other and I could smile forever just thinking back on how adorable they were together. He twirled her around, they slow danced, ran around, played under the tables with glowing necklaces they got from the DJ during the "PARTY" part of the night. When we left David was nearly in tears. They hugged and hugged goodbye. He even kissed her on the cheek.

The next day when we were in the car she was obviously remembering the night before and said, "You know that boy I danced the night away with? I call him 'my prince.'"

Here are some pictures of my little princess Flower Girl (and some of her and her "prince" David).

Getting ready...
