Daddy’s cousin was getting married, so I went to the festivities with the whole family. Here I am, in my pretty dress before we went inside. The ceremony was held in a little chapel at Elfindale, which was really pretty, but totally boring for a little girl like me. I tried my best to be quiet and sit down during the ceremony, but Mommy took me outside right after the Bride came down the isle. I just don’t understand why they can’t have dancing and toys and fun stuff at weddings - if I ever get married, we’re definitely going to have that! Outside was fun though. There was a little garden next to the chapel that I got to play in a little bit. my favorite thing was picking up sticks and dirt. Here’s a picture of me concentrating hard on getting potting soil out of the container and throwing it on the ground. You might also be able to see my little collection of cedar bark on the bench, next to me. After the ceremony was over, which I thought was forever! Daddy came outside to play with us too. He helped me up the stairs. Then I had to get my diaper changed, so we went back into the chapel. I didn’t want to go, but Daddy picked me up. Mommy said this picture is funny because we’re making the same face in it. After I got a change, I was a lot happier. Daddy still looks like a goof-ball though. When we went into the reception, I got to meet some of the 2nd cousins that were closer to my age. I especially liked Cassidy. She was wearing a black dress just like me. We played a lot together. After the kids had, “had enough” of the reception, we went outside and played on the playground. I got to change back into play clothes, which were a lot more comfortable. I loved playing with Cassidy and Allie. Cassidy helped me play on the slide and the rocking animals. Even though all the cousins were almost 3 or 4 years older than me, I still tried to keep up with them. We went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant (my favorite!) after we left the reception and I ran around like crazy with the kids there too. I’m so glad that I got to meet them all. When we got back to Nanny and Grandpa Tom’s house I took a bath and then Mommy had to get pictures of us in our Christmas pajamas since we missed the opportunity on Christmas morning. I had such a fun trip to Missouri this Christmas. I miss Nanny and Grandpa Tom and Bob and Sugar a lot! I love you guys.
