As promised...

 
Here is Lauren all decked out for her debut as a flower girl!
She did an awesome job and was VERY careful about where she was putting the flower petals as she walked down the aisle.  She was SO careful that she ran out about halfway through!  :o)  

 
Waiting very patiently for the ceremony to start.  She amazed me with how calm and sweet she was all morning, through pictures and the ceremony.  Once it was over - she began to crash a little, which was understandable since it was 3PM and well into nap-time!

 
She insisted upon wearing this necklace that her GG made for her and asked everyone if they liked it all day!

 
The reception was in an amazing backyard.  There were tons of big mature trees and lots of fun areas for the kids to explore.  Downside: about two seconds after I took this picture, I realized that is a mulberry that she is holding.  Against her dress!  UGH!  So, she had a pretty little purple mark in the middle of her beautiful dress for the rest of the evening.

 
She LOVED playing outside in her "wedding dress" (as she kept calling it).
I am proud of my beautiful outdoor-loving-fancy-girl!

Oh my goodness - she looks SO pretty - that "wedding dress" is awesome! I'm thinking you need to let her wear it again for her Fancy Nancy party - BTW - I told mom you were doing that and she immediately was excited and said that she was going to wear Fancy Nancy attire - so that should be fun! The weather looks beautiful - glad she had so much fun.

So pretty! That is going to be such a fun memory for Lauren! I think every girl wishes to be a flower girl at some point or another. She looked gorgeous...you guys must be very proud parents.

I knew she'd do great. She is such a well behaved little girl! She's joy in a dress! And beautiful too! What a plus that she enjoys dirt and frogs too! :)
