a very, very special day!

sweet, precious, dear, dear Lindsay asked emma to be a part of her wedding. And it made me sweat a little. okay a lot. because emma is two. and two year olds can be....well, unpredictable. and the last thing in the whole entire world that I wanted was to take anything away from my cousin's wedding who is so precious and dear to me {have I said that already??!!??}. anyway, lindsay's faith in emma never waivered and it was UNBELIEVABLE to have my daughter be a part of such a special occasion.


she instantly became best friend's with the other flower girl, Julia.


and the dresses, ya'll. breathtaking.


OH and the headpieces, my word. and the flowers too. I could go on and on.


and considering we had started our day with a birthday party with cinderella and then no nap. emma was a little wild to say the least.



and she kept tackling charlie which of course he loved.


watch this: innocently sitting in a chair ever so sweetly.


BOOM, tackle. where is this child's mother??? {chances are she was in the bathroom about to toss her cookies because she is pregnant with twins and tried very unsucessfully to hid it from everyone as to not take away from anyone's day}.


one of my favorite pictures ever. I love my aunts. I love my aunts dearly. I love that emma loves my aunts dearly too.


and then we boogie woogied until this pregnant mama couldn't boogie no more!
