Halloween in Florida

The family took a quick trip to Tampa to visit hubby's relatives.  The weather was gorgeous.
Laura wanted to be Cinderella.  I'm thinking it influenced by her previous exposure to the real Cinderella.
Laura met up with Janise to go trick or treating.  She was dressed as a fairy and they both looked like princesses.
Some of the homes had great decorations.



Derek, Janise's brother, enjoyed his candy.


October 30: Halloween party at Preschool

Sorry for the long gap but we've been busy.  Here is Laura's face painting from her preschool Halloween party.

The wedding

Laura ready for the wedding.

The limo ride to the church.



My aunt and uncle sang a lovely duet and there was not a dry eye at the church.
After the ceremony, we had to stay at the church for photos. Laura was cranky and had a meltdown. I don't think she got in most of the photos.

When we got to the reception, we gave Laura something to eat and she was back to her usual happy self. She must have been hypoglycemic because we didn't eat lunch before the ceremony. BAD MOMMY!



My dad, me and my brother, Jimmy.


Me and Ymo

My dad was dancing it up.

Right before the cake cutting, Laura was almost passed out from all the excitement.




Dazzles

We had appointments at Dazzles for the gals. We got a little room in the back for the bridal party with snacks.
Hedi gets a mani.
Carolyn gets a pedi.
Laura got her first "real" haircut and she was very nervous. We had to do a lot of bribing with balloons and lollipops. Afterwards, she was totally fine and her usual self.

This dryer was HOT!

Rehearsal for Hedi and Jim's wedding

We arrived at the hotel at 4pm on Friday.  Rehearsal was at 5:30pm at the Lady of Loretto church.
Laura says hello to Ha dah buh gee, my brother James in the back, my uncle from Korea.
My uncle and aunt.

Hedi prays that the wedding will go smoothly.

The rehearsal dinner at Hudson House.  Really nice next to the Hudson river.

Cousin Steven and Jodi.
Maddy and Laura goofing around.
They ended up playing in the alcove next to the bathrooms.  Nice.
