A Wedding

Alina had the honor of being the ringbearer at a friend's wedding last week. She was thrilled to get all dressed up in a lovely princess-like dress, have her hair done and put on makeup. My dad officiated the [touching] ceremony ... with my mom's help. We tried to keep Laura from running down the aisle many-a-time during the ceremony because either she wanted to go sit in the front with Alina, or give her grandpa and grandma a hug (all of a sudden she became ultra affectionate, ha!). Such a little terror! When the ceremony ended, Laurie went home with my siblings whilst the rest of us met up at a restaurant to celebrate the wedding.

A princess!
