A white dress. . .

A long time ago. . .
my best friend and I got dressed up. . .
 and decided to spend the rest of our lives together.
 Thank you God for many wonderful years!
And. . .as I was looking through some photos, my kiddos wanted to know what it was like. They remembered their Grandma's wedding, but it seemed very different to them than the pictures they saw in the black photo album. Then. . .all was quiet and I though the moment had passed. I went on to bake some snacks. E suddenly came upstairs with a big white garment bag and said, "Try this on!" Someone had found my wedding dress! Princess A of course couldn't resist a "princess moment" so. . .
Photo was courtesy of E ("because that is what happens when girls wear pretty dresses, you know. People always take pictures of girls in dresses and boys on bikes.")
It still fits! (I kinda do that every year (or more if needed!) after a baby. . .make sure I can still squeeze into it!)
*~*~*
The excitement of it all prompted my two older ones to have a pretend wedding. It was adorable! I love my kids! They are so creative and so darn cute! (I'm very, very biased, of course!) All of a sudden, Princess A came out of her room looking like a princess and E came upstairs in his best black clothes, and it was announced that it was time to sit down so the wedding could begin!
They got dressed up in their "wedding best" and had a ceremony of their own.
And, of course, there always has to be a picture of the ring. . .
And the dancing that goes along with it all. . .
(E said he knew what the boys are supposed to do for the dancing and then proceeded to help Princess A do a twirl and then a lift in the air! I couldn't help but giggle! I think he did okay!)
I love my kiddos! They make my life so full of overflowing joy!
And I love my hubby--of course! Happy Anniversary!
