Wedding Festivites!!!

Oh boy, what a weekend! My weekend actually started Thursday night. After soccer practice, I went to Faira's to help her do some last minute wedding chores. Thank goodness I did, because the programs were not done and still needed to be printed. It took us a while to figure it out but we eventually got the hang of it. Unfortunately, the more we did the more the printer was acting up. We stopped a little after midnight and decided to try it again in the morning. Friday, I took Makya to school and watched their Teddy Bear parade.
It was Pajama and Teddy Bear Day for the Kindergartner's. When I got home, I packed my bag and the kid's bag for Saturday night and off I went to Faira's. The printer once again had a mind of it's own. I had to leave Andrew with his mom and step mother to finish up. It was getting late and I had to pick Makya up from school and head out to Dallas for our girls (plus Kadyn)lunch and pick up my dress.
For lunch we went to Frankie's Bar and Grill and then later checked into the hotel and changed for rehearsal. After rehearsal we went to Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner. Faira had bags made with our names on them for our gift. I love it! You can never have too many bags.
She gave the flower girls a necklace with their initial, earrings, a ring and a little pouch with their name on it. Kadyn's gift hasn't came in yet so I'm not sure what that is yet. After the dinner all of us girls went back to the hotel for some girl time. We had a blast! It was just like old times. Saturday, we woke up early and went to Breadwinners for breakfast and had frozen mimosas, mmmm good!!! Afterwards, Susan and I went back to her house and relaxed until it was time to be at the facility. The wedding was supposed to be outside but for obvious reasons we had to bring it inside. Besides that, the wedding went so smoothly. Faira was a beautiful bride and the wedding was amazing. Makya is a pro at being a flower girl, but this was the first time Kadyn has ever been in a wedding and I do have to say, he did awesome! He held my hand and the other hand was in his pocket, like a little GQ model. Since the Reception was for adults only Janette came to pick the kids up after pictures.
It was nice that Matt and I could enjoy the evening without chasing the kids around. Sunday, I had to deliver all of Faira's wedding stuff and then relaxed the rest of the day. I think we were all exhausted from the weekend. I'm hoping we will have a laid back weekend very soon.
