Lilah wanted to dance but she wouldn’t go out on the floor without me at first.
After a while Lilah was fine with dancing without her mom and even Eden was dancing and having a blast.
Here’s a little clip of them jamming, but a song they knew came on so they actually were just happy for most of it.
So the wedding was beautiful! It was very hot since we had it outside in August in about 100 degree weather. Luckily it was short and you quickly forgot how hot it was once inside in the cool air.
Here’s my take on the night.
I warn that most of the pictures are of my little family. Early on the battery light came on so I was being careful with what pictures I took but as the night progressed it just kept working and of course I was mostly around my little family so that’s who’s pictures I took.

Close up- I was holding Carolyn’s door.
Off into the night with the invisiable husband in this picture.
So happy it’s over.
She had only a 20 minute nap today.
Fun things that happened.
Carolyn waved to Lilah when she was walking down the isle with Derek.
I almost cried during the wedding but was able to control myself. I did start crying during the father daughter dance when both Carolyn and my dad were crying.
No one decorated their car. We were all so unprepared.
We went to their house Sunday to watch them open gifts and they got like four kitchen aid gadgets or attachments but no kitchen aid!
I did make the girl’s dresses and my friend Anna made mine.
