Kelly & Jeff are Married!

 My cousin, Kelly, got married this weekend to a really great guy named Jeff. Maci was their flower girl and I was honored to stand with them as a bridesmaid. The weekend was lots of fun and the ceremony was perfect...well, except the somewhat grouchy priestess who demanded no flash photography and is solely responsible for the terrible pictures you're seeing. I forgive her. Maci was great.

My mama made these beautiful bouquets!!

 My favorite little people. They were looking GOOD.

 Dancing. 

Woah, the dancing. It was out-of-control fun, and aside from me (literally) have to run to catch Maci from watching a very drunk man strip tease in a corner, it was the most amazing and hilarious thing I've ever gotten to do with my girls. Eli was dragged on the dance floor occasionally, but he's not into being watched and much prefers sitting on the laps of people who love him and cannot say "no" when asked for bites or sips of whatever they have.

 This girl can dance...for HOURS, even when exhausted.

 Mother and step-dad of the bride. My aunt Karen was smashing!

 There was a lot of this.

 Yep. At one point, Mika was in the middle of the dance circle getting her groove on and clapping for herself when she was super impressed with whatever move she'd pulled off.

 YAY! A picture of Eli dancing :)

 Mika refused to be anywhere but the dance floor, and to protect her life from tall people doing the Electric Slide, I had to hold her. A LOT.

 Aunt Holly can dance!! So Maci stood right next to her and tried to do everything she did.

 Don't be fooled. We only sat down for a second so blood could return to my toes.

The beautiful bride!

Not pictured (because we were distracted running after 3 active kids and didn't take enough pictures): my handsome husband who worked really hard all weekend with 2 herniated discs & my beautiful mom who also worked really hard all weekend taking care of all of us AND making boutonnieres and bouquets & my Aunt Lori who was stunning and should be awarded the President of Entertainment trophy because she was amazingly fun and helpful!
