Charlie did not end up fulfilling her flower girl duties. It was too overwhelming for her and both she and Owen were getting to be a handful as guests arrived. My Aunt Linda graciously provided a sitter from her church and the kids went straight in with her to play and it was the BEST thing we could have done.

I wasn’t too sad about it…I mean, she still got to wear the beautiful dress that Mimi made and we brought her out later to show her off and have some time on the dance floor. (As I was getting her dressed, I kept mentioning the word “ballerina” so that she wouldn’t give me trouble, and you should have seen her smiling and twirling in her dress. Apparently, “ballerina” was a word she understood!!)

Owen was also dressed to the nines, as you can see. *Sigh* Little boys just kill me. He is such a doll!!
