Flower Girl Dress Shopping

Sadly, it has been almost two months since I did my last blog. I like blogging, I really do, however, it seems to fall short (or low) on my list of priorities, and every time that I think I have found a spot to squeeze it in, another priority gets plugged into that spot. In the grand scheme of things, it is not important as the other items on my list, but I do miss it when it is absent.

There’s a lot to catch up on, but I’ll just work slowly! For one, I haven’t posted any of our Christmas pictures yet. I’m working on it, still sorting through them from my camera! We’ve been busy with a lot of things in the past month especially, which I’ll elaborate on as we catch up, but more recently, one item I’ve been busy with is preparing for my sister-in-law, Jessica’s wedding.

Jessie is Nathan’s younger sister, and is getting married this summer. She has asked our entire family to be in her wedding; and we are all honored to be a part of her special day. The girls are both getting to be her flower girls (let’s hope they make it down the isle!) and so Jessie and I took them both dress shopping last week to get their sizes and decide on a style that she liked best.

I had feared that Brenna (who hates to have her clothes changed) would throw a monster tantrum, and that we would have a hard time getting Sammie out of the store without the “princess dresses” she’d tried on all day. Boy was I wrong…

Brenna tried on one dress, ran from mirror to mirror smiling at her reflection, swishing her dress from side to side and squealing with delight!

Sammie…well, Sammie screamed and cried the entire time. She didn’t want me to put the dress on, she didn’t want me to take it off, she didn’t want to come out of the dressing room, she was pretty well miserable the entire time. I think that David’s Bridal was VERY happy to see us go…
