I didn't get any good pictures of Tesia's wedding dress but you can see it here a bit at the reception. It was a beautiful dress and of course she looked gorgeous in it! The reception was held that evening right after the wedding. Here Tesia is dancing with Ellie, the flower girl.
Ellie danced the entire night! She danced more than anyone else there and even danced with people she had just met that weekend! Here she's dancing with me.
We had practiced sprinkling the flower petals the night before at the hotel and she totally got it, but once she entered the wedding she was a bit overwhelmed and we were just happy she made it down the aisle! I walked with her carrying Audrey who had on her own flower girl dress while Lori waited at the end of the aisle, encouraging Ellie to come down. However, at the reception she remembered how to sprinkle the petals and put them all around the table with the cake....
and when she ran out, she picked them up and did it again!
Tesia arranged for the bakery to make an eggless cupcake that looked like the cake. It was great and we so appreciate how Tesia wanted to make Ellie feel like she got the same cake we got. Ellie never knew the difference!
Ellie dancing with Aunt TT and Uncle Ty
Ellie asleep on the way home. Both girls did great again on the drive back - Ellie found things to do in the car and Audrey slept most of the way. If we didn't know before this vacation that we have two terrific daughters, we certainly do now!

Looks like you all had a great trip and bet was nice being with family and enjoy visiting ...that is one of the nice things about "special occasions"...
It was a trip, and the pictures are great, but can't do justice to how beautiful and really wonderful your two girls were!
Seems like you all had a lot of fun! I wonder if Ellie will dance, swim or be a gymist when she grows up... maybe all 3 =)
