Carol's Wedding Weekend - Part 2

On Saturday morning, we had a big meal of breakfast tacos (and impressed Clark with our ability to get fresh tortillas and pico from the grocerty store). Claire got her first birthday present - how is it possible that she is almost 2? - and was so excited by it. It was the beginning of a big day for her!

After breakfast, Claire, Robert and I headed out to the Medina River Ranch Resort, the wedding location, for the rehearsal. The flower girl needed to practice! Carol got Claire a wagon for Christmas that we brought along in case it looked like she would need help getting down the aisle, but she did great in her practice runs.

While at the ranch, we saw all kinds of wild game - Claire loved the zebras!

That afternoon we had lunch with Robert's parents, drove around Bandera, and then went back to the resort for naps. I made a quick trip to Boerne for some hair bows (that we didn't end up using) while Claire and Robert napped and visited with family. We managed to get Claire dressed and her hair fixed without too much arguing and stalling and made it to the pre-wedding pictures. Carol gave Claire a silver box with her name engraved on it, and we had to pry it from her hands before the wedding.

I'm happy to say that Claire did an excellent job walking down the aisle. She smiled and stayed on track, and then was very well behaved from her seat with us during the ceremony!

During the group photos, everyone clapped for Claire as she stood in front and smiled. She definitely enjoyed all of the attention. We had a wonderful time at the reception, and since we were staying the night at the resort, Claire got to stay up extra late.

The ever present cup

She loved dancing with Aunt Carol, Granddad Martin, Daddy and Mommy. I love the expressions on her face!

Sunday morning we got to see everyone again at the day after brunch. Everything was so beautiful & fun, and we are incredibly happy for Carol and Jeremy. Congrats again, you two!
