Houston
March 27-29
March 27-29
On March 27th Lily Catherine and I flew to Houston to attend Uncle Erik and Michelle's wedding. Randy had already left the day before, so that he could be there in time for the Bachelor party/Golf outing festivities. Even though we lived in Texas for 5 years. We had never been to Houston before.
We had a great time on Friday night at the rehearsal dinner. Lily Catherine especially liked playing with the balloons with Auntie Courtney.
On Saturday morning we were excited to get to have brunch with Jeff and Robyn Kozan, some friends from Dallas who we haven't seen in awhile. It was great to get to catch-up. Then it was time to go and get ready for the wedding.
As you can see, both Randy and Lily Catherine were in the wedding. Lily Catherine was the flower girl. She was SO excited to go down the aisle that I had a hard time making her wait her turn until all of the bridesmaids had gone down. The plan was for her to meet Randy at the end of the aisle, and then he would walk her back to me, so that I could hold her during the ceremony. I told her she was supposed to go straight to daddy. She ran about 3/4 of the way down the aisle and then decided it would be more fun to have daddy ch6ase her (a game she plays at home all the time). She spun around and ran straight back to me with Randy following her. I scooped her up and we walked to our reserved place in the pew and Randy went back to his spot with the groomsmen.
The problem was that I had told Lily Catherine that she was going to go to daddy, so she spent the next few minutes screaming out "DADDY! DADDY!" Lily Catherine and I ended up in the courtyard outside the sanctuary for most of the ceremony.
At the reception, we changed Lily Catherine into a different "party dress." We mingled outside for a bit before sitting down for a yummy dinner. Thankfully Auntie Sarah took Lily Catherine outside to throw leaves in the pond so that Randy and I would have a chance to eat. Lily Catherine hung in there at the reception for awhile, even leading Randy out onto the dance floor to dance, but when it was time to sit down to watch the newlyweds cut the cake she passed out in my arms and then slept on the table for about an hour until it was time to go.
