a cousin’s wedding in nashville
October 9, 2014 Leave a comment
A few weeks ago we met most of my immediate and extended family in Nashville for my cousin Kelley’s wedding. It was the first time my extended family got to meet Harper and my sister’s daughter Avery.
Our first stop was the Nashville zoo where we met my Aunt Lynn and cousin Sara and her kids. The girls loved it! Such a pretty and natural zoo.
Me and my cousin Sara are both due a few weeks apart!
My sister and her husband and daughter, Avery.
The girls are checking out the giraffes!
My dad and brother
Me and my niece
Grandpa and his granddaughters!
Checking out the camels
Needless to say, the girls were tuckered out!
The girls played on the playground for a while before we went to the rehearsal dinner.
The next day we walked around Centennial Park with the girls in matching shirts – oh the cuteness!
The girls with Gramoo Julie!
Later that evening we put on our dresses and went to the wedding! The girls had fun and were pretty well behaved – luckily the ceremony was short!
The gorgeous bride and her father (Uncle Jim)!
Then we took a few more pics before heading to the reception.
Harper was so excited to get dolled up in her dress, bracelet, necklace and sparkly shoes!
Lisa and her mini-me!
Then the real fun began – the girls tore up the dance floor!
We did some spinning and Avery and her daddy did some dancing too!
Where’s Avie?
Here I am!
OMG I’m having so much fun!!
The girls got to meet Great-Grandmother for the first time!
Here’s my dad with his six siblings and parents – the whole crew!
Cutting the cake
The next morning the whole family met for breakfast.
Grandpa and Gramoo graciously offered to rush through their dinner so they could take the girls back to the hotel for bed so we could stay and enjoy the reception. And when we left, we got back to the hotel and I realized I left my phone at the reception! I blame the pregnancy brain! Luckily, my Uncle Jim grabbed it and brought it to me the next morning!
It was a fantastic weekend seeing family I hadn’t seen in years! We had a late flight back that night and got home around 1am. The next day was Harper’s 2nd birthday! So we took the day off and had a fun family day – stay tuned for pictures!
