Going to the Chapel

I'm still trying to catch up on some of

the things we did over the holidays.

One of the biggest

things on our agenda was

seeing our sweet Kerri get married!

We have watched Kerri grow up and were

so excited to celebrate this next step in her life.

A few friends threw her a bridesmaids luncheon

the day before her wedding at a local little lunch spot.

The Brides' mother had boat totes

for all of the girls filled with

little treats for the big day.

Here's a photo of Kerri and her girls.

Three of these girls have know Kerri, literally, her entire life.

We had a charm cake for all of her bridesmaids

and Kerri picked out charms that had special meanings

for the ladies in her bridal party.

The girls all pulled their charms

and were then given a card with the meaning of the charm

and a happy wish for each of the ladies.

Each of the girls listening to the meanings of the charms...

And last, but not least, Kerri's Momma had bought

her a charm as well.  Kerri's Momma started her

a charm bracelet when she was about 16 and has 

filled it with many milestones and happy memories over

the years.  This charm was a wedding cake.

The next night I tried to dress up my crew and make them act

right for the night!  Here is Jackson all dressed up...

Mom and Dad ready for a celebration.

Nana and her first grandson...he's taller than she is now...

she's wearing heels...he's not!

And this was the best we could get of the four of us...

Jackson just would not cooperate!

Getting a 4 year old to small without saying "cheese"

and having a cheesy smile, is almost impossible!
