The next morning we hopped in the car again for another 3 hour drive to Memphis. Unfortunately, Brooklyn developed a little cold at Grandma's house and had a red, runny, and raw nose...perfect timing for the wedding! The kids did whatever to entertain themselves! Colson covered himself in stickers several times, we watched many movies, listened to many songs, and read many books! Brooklyn was happy just coloring and drawing!
We settled into our hotel and then got ready for the rehearsal and dinner. Brooklyn was the flower girl and Colson was the ring barer. I was so nervous about how Colson would do since he just turned two a few weeks ago! We practiced at the rehearsal and decided he would walk holding hands with Brooklyn and then come sit with us on the first row.
Grandma, Poppi, Mimi, and Kiki Malorie wore a dress her Mom wore years ago for her rehearsal. It was a beautiful vintage style wedding!
Welcome to the family Neil! The kids rehearsing their parts! So serious!
Memphis had a downtown power outage so plans had to change for the dinner. Neil's parents were so upset but it worked out well. We went to a local Mexican restaurant which we thought was pretty funny...eating Mexican food in Memphis when we are from Texas! The kids were quite a hit!
Brooklyn and our other cousin Madison! Brooklyn loves Maddy! Colson was such a ham!
We got to see both of the kids Great Grandmas this trip. Granny and Grandma are just in love with the kids and wish they could see them more!
We got all dressed for the vintage style wedding that Malorie and Neil had. It was beautiful! The kids did great even with no afternoon nap!
Brooklyn's dress was worn by Malorie and Madison when they were little. Colson's whole outfit was made by Malorie's grandma.
Malorie made her own wedding dress and Brooklyn's hair band and all of the flowers...so talented!
Kisses to Aunt Susan!
The kids played ping pong and air hockey with Neil before the wedding!
This was Colson's fit before the wedding...it scared us...thought he wouldn't walk down the aisle!
They walked down together and did great! Yay Colson and Brooklyn!
Now we went to the reception that was at the old Train Depot in downtown Memphis. It was so fun! Colson fell asleep on the way but woke up and the kids had a blast!
My Mom, and Uncle Frank (her brother) and their mom, Grandma! B dancing with Madison!
The kids loved dancing with everyone...they were quite good!!!!
Uncle Frank always asks us to put our finger in the hole! They love it!
Late night and we were locked out of our room! We had keys but the door broke!!!!!!
