Flower Girls

Uncle Jerrad requested Emily and Abigail be the flower girls in his wedding. Mommy was a little worried how they would react to a crowd and if they would make it down the aisle. So, in preparation, we watched videos of other flower girls, played "flower girl" without dressing up, and then, finally, we got them both in their dresses, walking down the hallway, and throwing the petals as they walked. However, Abigail was still not thrilled about wearing her dress. She kept saying it was "too tight".

The day of the wedding we drove to Eureka Springs where they were having the wedding at the beautiful Crescent Hotel. We had to get the girls dressed a little early for pictures. Like we feared, Abigail wanted it off badly. She cried for a while until we distracted her and the wedding began...two hours later. However, she and Emily did PERFECT!!! They were the cutest flower girls ever. As soon as they walked down the aisle, they came back to where Mommy was sitting. Emily exclaimed, "I DID IT!" and Abigail said loudly, "Take it off now" speaking of her dress. Everyone heard them, of course, and laughed. I was so proud of them both and they looked so beautiful!
