I have known my friend Matt since 2nd grade and I was able to see him get married last night! Matt and Gabriela were married at an incredibly elegant place called The Bell Tower and it was a beautiful wedding.
We arrived a little early and Emily quickly made friends with the girls in the wedding party. They had the run of this tuscan "mansion" and had a ball exploring and pretending it was "thier house." The girls were so inseparable that the wedding party even included Emily in some of their family pictures! She certainly has a ball wherever she goes...
This wedding was the most kid friendly wedding I have ever attended. In the upstairs room above the dining area, they hired a fairy princess to paint faces and make balloon sculptures. Lucky kids!
Of course Emily was thrilled with this:
Lia initially said she wanted pink butterflies on her face but changed her mind when it came down to actually sitting down in the face painting chair. She settled on a butterfly balloon instead... pink of course.
In the dining room, a table for the kids was set up with individual meals for the kids. David was quite pleased with his chicken nuggets, fries, and cookies. There were even "goody boxes" filled with candy, glow bracelets, toys, etc...
Outside, there was a water wall. My pictures of the girls came out pretty good. David didn't want his picture taken... there were puddles out there for him to jump in. Yup, he's a boy!
We made it till 11:00... Emily wanted to stay and party till midnight. She told us she wasn't a bit tired. However, I think she made it about 10 minutes in the car till she passed out in her seat. Needless to say, we escorted three very sleepy kids to their beds when we got home.
