Aunt Gigi came to babysit

Last week was busy at school and then followed by a wedding over the weekend. My first graders had their V-Day party on Friday the 6th and then I left the mess at school and went to get Lily. On Fridays, I am so ready to get out of school!! :) Virgie was coming that evening to watch Lily while Matt and I went to a rehearsal supper for Hilary Callahan and Dan Bolling. Lily was great for Gigi, but a little tired from playing outside that day. (Lily's going to be so much fun outside this summer, she loves it!) Anyway, we surprised Virgie by bringing Jeff and Lance home with us that night. With some drinks and Mario Kart, we made it a late night.

Lily was the first to wake up on Saturday, weird! ha ha. We puttered around the house that morning playing before we got ready for the wedding.

Lily likes playing with shoes, so Gig helped her tie them up.

The wedding was in Wood River and Hilary had asked me to be the Guest Book attendant. Hilary is such a great friend, and I was honored to be able to do that for her. So, while Matt and I were getting ready, Virgie was playing beauty parlor with Lily. She has such curly hair, and it looked adorable.

Where did she get this look from? ha ha!

Our beautiful little girl.

Off to the wedding. We should have gotten a family photo, since we were all "doodooed" up.

Lily was not thrilled to be sitting in a church for the whole wedding. Matt walked with her outside and sat in the car for most of the service. Hilary was beautiful and the wedding was great. I wish wonderful memories for Dan and Hilary.

The reception followed in GI, and Lily came with us. She was wanting to walk anywhere that we weren't. She did not have a morning or afternoon nap and she is majorly teething, so we had a crabby baby on our hands. Finally Grandma came and took her to Gibbon to spend the night. They were so excited to get to play with her and take her to church. Virgie got to watch her Again! They say she was just wonderful and was hamming it up during church.

We met them on Sunday afternoon at the Super Bowl, bowling alley for the belated Widdowson Christmas. Most of the aunts, uncles, and cousins were there. We missed John, Laurie, Mav, and Guire. Matt bowled and said that he does better on the Wii. I was trying to calm a sleepy little girl.

Sydney Lynn! Her and Lily had a great time walking around with one another.

Aunt Gigi and the girls. Then, my camera died. OOops.
