Dancing Queen - Wedding 9-19-09

Saturday evening we went to Casey and Kayla's wedding at The Oasis and had the most wonderful time! We originally tried to get Granny or Kate to baby sit Hope because the wedding was to start at 7pm and Hope usually goes to bed at 8. Both had other plans, so we decided to take Hope with us and if we had to leave at 8, then so be it. We got there a little early and decided to sit down and have dinner. (I forgot Hope's bib, so I used the shirt she was wearing earlier in the day and put it over her dress). I love this photo of Hope and Wayne at the dinner table:




After dinner, we went upstairs to the wedding. It was beautiful! They got married with the sunset behind them overlooking the lake. Here are a few photos of us with the beautiful scenic background. Hope loved watching the boats on the lake too!














At 8pm, the band started playing. They were great, played mostly 80's music and come to find out... Hope LOVES 80's music. She danced and danced ALL NIGHT LONG! The little girl who goes to bed religiously at 8pm every night, danced to the music until 9:45!!!! We had total strangers come up to us and dance with us. We even had a stranger come up to us and tell us "you have your hands full with her!" Everyone was commenting on how precious she was... and she really was so cute out there dancing all around! She had a ball! Full of smiles and energy. Then when Mommy and Daddy decided it was time to leave, she was smiling and waving "bye bye" to everyone around! I wasn't able to get any good photos of her dancing, but here are two photos of Hope with Fritzie (top) and Hope with Katie (bottom).




I am so glad we weren't able to get a sitter. We would have missed out on such a wonderful night! I know Hope won't remember it, but we sure will! We are so blessed to have such an amazing and fun child!!
