Wedding Bells!

Let's break this day down into parts, starting with the super cuties and ending in a downright meltdown.  

First, you wake up super duper early and  explore the hotel grounds.


By explore, I mean run in opposite directions from each other and watch Mommy scramble catch us.

And then when she does, play nice.  After all, she needs her strength to get us through this super duper exciting day that will surely tire us out.

Off to see the train!

And the super duper big slide.


I'm a pro.

And someone else thinks they are a master of the playground domain.

I think this may be my cutest picture yet.  Don'tcha think?




Here ducky, duckies.



Phew, Daddy fnished his fun run just in time to hang out with us.  He will follow us anywhere so long as we bring him coffee!



Then, after a great morning and an all too short car nap, we are bathed, brushed and dressed in our flower girl finest. Don't tell anyone, but Daddy is the one who has to get us dressed and our hair done up.  Mommy hasn't mastered the matching, finished look concept yet. Maybe by our high school graduations?

The (almost complete) wedding party extraordinare!


And the main attraction- that's us!
Cheese face!
How can a face like this do wrong?

The totally complete wedding party extraordinare! If only we were looking at the camera, right?


Hanging out by the fence.

And who doesn't jump on a tractor whenever they see one? We love tractors!



This might be the best picture of us in our dresses and, yes, there is a urinal in the background.  That pretty much sums up Mommy's life.  Really, that makes her life pretty amazing, doesn't it?


Daddy and his Princess Samantha complete with the practically perfect princess pose.

Here's a bonus picture of us looking at Mommy's camera. Score!


And holding hands, like sisters should!

Love, love love!



Aunt Holley and Uncle Travis!


Aunt Holley's sister, Kasey made a sign so no one would get lost. Great idea!



Actualy, Aunt Holley's flowers look better with my dress, I think.


Chrissy wanted to play in the farm.




But settled for the tractor.


After pictures, it was time to run around and spend time with all the family.  Hi Great Grandpa Lou and Great Grandma Pat! 
Daddy and Uncle Bob and Aunt Helen.  If I could see into the future, then I would tell UB and AH to stop by a certain gas station after Thanksgiving and buy a lottery ticket with the numbers 5-16-22-23-29, powerball 6....
Mommy and Dottie.  Mommy developed her love of life and almond tea from this very special lady!

Grandma Carol and Grandpa Frank.  Smile!
Not the best picture of Christina and Daddy, but  Mommy isn't the best photographer.  Boo-yah!

Auntie Diana and Uncle Ziggy live in Florida.  I should try calling them to see if it rains there when it rains in New Jersey.  Cousin Michele lives in Ohio. Daddy spends most weeks in Ohio.  I think I should visit there soon!

Aunt Nancy and cousin Alex sure look pretty!


Chrissy wanted to take the picture, not be in it!


Chrissy practicing for the big walk with pouch in hand.  Gotta fuel up!




Diane, Mark, Grandpa Frank and Grandma Carol.  Longtime friends!




Next up?  The actual ceremony!
You'd think I'm an old pro at this, but really it was my first time walking down the aisle!

Darn that hairbow!

Hooray for Christina!


I have never seen Uncle Travis so serious for so long!  Maybe because I can't see his face?  But, Aunt Holley is super pretty!


Now that our job is done and we officially welcomed Aunt Holley into our family, it's time for more pictures.

Mommy and Aunt Nancy mugging it for the camera!


Don't Mommy and cousin Michele look like sisters?



Uncle Travis asking Christina not to bite him.  Totally!


Girl power!


The bestest famly picture we took in 2012.  Love, love!



It was right about this time that we girls checked out for the night.  It was way too much excitment for us and we crashed harder than ever before. Daddy scooped us up and drove us right to McDonalds for dinner and then took us back to the hotel to rest up and disturb everyone on the 4th floor..


Krempa-(but no Burt)-Fagnani-Abraham magic!

Cousin Michele, Aunt Holley and Mommy.



Mommy, Grandpa Frank and Grandma Carol.


End of the night- flower girl style.

This is how  Mommy parties on without her chickadees!



Pretty cake!
I see where Mommy gets her smile on from.

Daddy told me that Mommy was getting hammered and I'm pretty sure so was Grandpa Frank!
Dottie thinks Mommy getting smashed is funny, too.  Wish we were there to see her be so funny!
Cousins!
Happy times!
Keep Mommy out of the photo booth!

Silly billies!


Hugs!



Love, love!


Great times if you don't count our meltdowns!
