Here comes the flower girl

Two Saturdays ago, Uncle Ken & Aunt Diana got married and Alexis got to be the flower girl. First, we did a run through before the ceremony. Although she had been so excited for weeks before, during the practice she wanted nothing to do with it.
After she got into her pretty dress and shoes and practiced walking down the aisle about 15 more times, she could hardly wait for the ceremony to begin.

Flower Girl & Bride-

I don't have any pictures of Alexis walking down the aisle (maybe we can get one from the bride & groom to post later) but she did great. She only dropped one handful of rose petals on her walk down the aisle, so about 1 minute into the ceremony, she walked back up the aisle to drop the rest. She spent some time standing between Ken & Diana too. She had a hard time standing in her spot during the wedding. I guess that is to be expected from a 2-year-old.

Sam loved the meatballs at the reception that followed-

Of course Alexis' favorite part of the whole day... the cake!
