We have the best girls. Ever.
J. and I could not have asked for better behavior from the girls this past weekend. They look like they had total diva attitude here, but seriously they were on their very best behavior.
I kept waiting for the other (little kid-sized 11) shoe to drop while we carted them all over the North Carolina countryside, messed up their sleeping and eating schedules, and forced their little nimble fingers to put together wedding favors for hours. Even the ER visit and night of sickness did not deter them…they held the course. I could not have been more proud of them.
Em was so excited to have curls like Addie for the entire day. She didn’t even make a peep while the hairstylist was putting her hair up and she had to sit still for nearly an hour.
They totally rocked the flower girl thing.
Including throwing in some good luck kisses to Uncle Jeff at the end of the aisle. (Yes, my heart did melt into a big puddle.)
Out of petals, guess we’ll just stand here and look pretty until we’re told what’s next.
Or maybe we’ll just hang out on this swing.
Or con Daddy into picking me up for a little rest.
Still waiting. But Emmy is being a great big sister and helping Addie cope.
And finally they were rewarded with the promised Justin Beiber, and a dance with Daddy. (My favorite photo of the night.)
And Mommy was rewarded, too. I can’t even count how many people commented on how well-behaved the girls were. It seems all the nagging and constant pounding of good behavior into them has finally paid off. It really was a little bit of validation that we are on the right track. Not perfect by any means, but we are getting somewhere.
It was icing on the cake (mmm….cake…yes, the cake was amazing too!) to a perfect evening. I had so much fun celebrating the new Mr. and Mrs. V. with all of our friends and family.
(Wait until you see the photobooth pics of the girls – they spent a good half-hour trying on all of the props and getting their pics taken. It was awesome!)
Congrats again, Jeff & JB. We love you and hope you are having a great honeymoon. Thanks for the fun party!
The girls are so beautiful, love their dresses. Looks like you all had a great time. Congrats to Jeff & JB…
You deserve to be proud! They both look so darling! So glad that Uncle Jeff now has a wife — and one that you totally love! Looks like everyone had a great time!
Well they have got to be the most beautiful flower girls evah!!! And you all look like you’re having such a good time. Isn’t it great when people notice your kids for the right reasons? You are a Flaming Sword Mama for sure Carrie! I knight thee for your service to parenthood!!!!!
And many congratulations to the bride and groom.
And just beautiful too! Wow. It really is the best feeling. (Gotta love the silly bandz! They’ll look back at that wedding and see a little bit o pop culture.)
They are simply gorgeous Carrie. Of course they are well behaved. They have the best momma around!! I am so glad everyone had fun. I hope Em is feeling better.
A. – A FLAMING SWORD MAMA! Yes!! Thanks all. They were beautiful, I totally bawled when they were walking down the trail.
And Mel – the Silly Bandz were citronella to keep the bugs away! She tied them around her basket for the ceremony but then put them back on right after I guess. I’m wondering if they are in all the photos…hmmm. Oh well.
I LOVE their dresses. Absolutely beautiful! It looks like a gorgeous day for a wedding. Congrats to Jeff!!!
As always, gorgeous pics!! Your babies don’t take bad pictures:)
Sweetness overload, here! Your girls are oh-so-sweet and so is your pride in them.
you clearly have done a LOT right. Tell the girls they looked gorgeous! such a lovely wedding too. Congrats to the happy new couple!
Oh, and can’t wait for the photobooth photos. And I’m impressed at all the great photos you managed to capture through the festivities!
Your girls are just so beautiful. I can just imagine how proud you are of them. I get overwhelmed with pride when people comment on my children’s good behavior. They always seem to pull thorough for me when I need them to.
Great photo’s. Are your husband and his brother twins?? They look like it.
Ditto, ditto, ditto…the girls are absolutely beautiful. And, HOLY CRAP – Jeff looked(s) SO MUCH like Jamie. Yes, I realize they’re twins, but wow. Crazy~
WOW! Just beautiful! Looks like you had a fantastic time. Poor Em! I hope she is back to her sweet self!
I couldn’t agree more! They were so much fun to hang out with too — such great little personalities.
They made “Hair Bow Children” look like little rabid monkeys. Hehe.
Best behaved AND best looking! They are adorable and look gorgeous all dressed up. Glad to hear that everyone had a great time!
They are absolutely gorgeous!!! You never get tired of hearing how gorgeous they are… but it is always SO much more wonderful to hear how well behaved they are!
Oh my gosh, they are gorgeous in those dresses and… the hair! Awesome!
So happy to hear it was a wonderful experience (despite any temporary bump). North Carolina – I want to go – it’s beautiful
