Saturday afternoon we took Lilli to her first wedding for her
"Miss Shannon" from school. Shannon has been our favorite teacher and our babysitter! It was a crazy day for us with it being Tomato Festival weekend. We got back from the festival around noon & she was so hot and tired she wasn't interested in lunch at all. We got her down for a nap, ate and showered and had to get her back up at 1:15 and literally head out the door. Normally she takes a good 2-3 hour afternoon nap, so we were running at just barely over an hour!
Of course we didn't want Lilli to be a distraction, so I had packed a few books and things for her and we planned to sit in the back of the church and Brent would get her out if she "lost" it. Little did we know their church was an old skating rink, so it's completely wide open with no foyers or hallways to evacuate fussy babies! As Lilli would say, "Ooooh, no!". So our NEW plan became Brent just taking her out to the car and running the AC until I gave him the all clear. AND, since it was all in one room they asked everyone to sit in their seats about 10 minutes before it all started so the wedding party could line up in the back.
She was SO squirmy and already in the floor before the parents were even seated. But I had a trick in my bag - a Lunchables!!! We pulled that out and she watched the wedding while eating her ham, cheese and crackers. She sat and ate and ate and ate the whole time like she was at the movies, HA!
We thought we had "made" it when they announced them bride and groom - until they asked everyone to stay in their seats another 15 minutes while they took pictures. Ouch! But at least we didn't have to be quiet or anything like that. They had a really nice reception with all kinds of food and during the reception they came around to say hi.
Lilli was so excited to see Shannon and REALLY wanted to go to her. Of course we'd been eating and she was all goopy and there was no way that was going to happen!!
She just kept staring at Shannon and wanting to touch her veil and dress.
Our table was all friends from her daycare, the other little girl is
Henley. Naturally the two of them didn't even act like they knew each other. And that's
Ms Sami, her teacher in the Infant room.
And another one of her teachers,
Miss Stephanie.
She got down and ran around after we finished eating. They were playing music and she was out on the dance floor, dancing around. The ONLY one dancing.
We stayed until they cut the cake. Of course someone got their little fork in and ate a good bit of it!!
Congratulations to MRS Shannon! We just know they're having a great time in Disney.
