Last weekend we spent a few days in "the windy city" AKA Chicago for my sisters
wedding. The wedding was beautiful and we had a wonderful time but this
mama was totally excited as she had all four of her kiddos together for the first
time since Labor Day! Daniel flew in from North Carolina and it was wonderful to
see him and spend time together!
We just finished getting our little flower girl ready! Those of you with a beloved
little Asian princess I can share with you that you need LOTS of setting and hair
spray if you want curls in their hair:)
We were downstairs waiting for the limo to pick us up and take us to the
wedding. I knew it had been a busy semester but when I look at this photo...let's
just say I'm excited to have a few weeks off for some R & R and to get
reacquainted with the gym!
The limo has arrived!
Sitting with Aunt Tiana in the really big car!!
We arrived and the first place Gabriella wanted to go was to check on Aunt Kris,
the beautiful bride!
Too cute!
Hanging out with papa and grandma before the wedding:)
She has her flowers...
we were all wondering if she would drop them down the isle??
First we had to check out the "twirl factor" of the dress...thankfully this one
passed:)
Then a quick photo shoot with the ring bearer...yes, Jack, Kris and Kevin's dog
drove in all the way from New York to serve as the ring bearer...he even shared a
few words during the ceremony!
Here we go....
And she's doing it!!!
She did great until she saw where I was sitting...
Then quickly ran to me to join us towards the front. Great job baby girl!!!
Kris being escorted down the isle with dad:)
Mr and Mrs Kevin Mano!!!!
Peeking to check out what's for dinner.
The girl LOVES the smell of roses.
Gavin is an INCREDIBLE cousin to Gabriella and Gabriella loves him to pieces!!
He is soooo very patient with her! You can tell he is used to being a big brother
and he is wonderful with younger kiddos:)
Our oldest "baby" boy who just turned 21! Doesn't he look great in purple!
Our little princess LOVES and I mean LOVES to dance. I'm totally convinced she
is praying as she "patiently" waits for the dance floor to open up and she can
finally begin to dance!
And it did! Enjoy yourself baby girl! You did an awesome job and we couldn't be
more proud of you!!!
