Flower girl extravaganza

Gemma was flower girl this past Friday at the wedding of one of my husband's high school friends. We talked a loooooot about it in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding (otherwise the whole event would likely have been a nightmare for her and us as well) and she did just a really great job. I was so proud of her. So very proud. I didn't get any super-awesome-fabulous pictures (despite taking 50+) but I did get some pretty cute ones (if I do say so myself), so thought I'd just stick them all (mostly) up here for your perusal (this is for you, mom!). Hopefully the professional ones will be up on the photographer's site at some point soon (Megan and Brent are the couple for whom to look). But here are some of the ones I took.

Waiting patiently for her food at the rehearsal dinner.
Getting dressed
So pretty
Beautiful little girl
I think she looks soooooo big in this one. Where did my baby girl go?
With her handsome bubby-brother
Her flowers were so cool
Being silly!
I used hairspray on her hair for the first time. It helped keep it a little more tame and static-free, since I knew she'd never allow for barrettes or an up-do or flowers or anything like that!
With daddy (he was a groomsman)
And with mommy
The family picture just wasn't happening ;-D
Grabbing some dinner before the ceremony
Twirling around!
A huge pile of M&M's at the reception and she was one happy girl (had to change out of the dress so she'd fit in her carseat)!
And Kolbe crashed
It was a fun evening out as a family and we were sure proud of our sweet flower girl!
