It has been an exciting week! My cousin Nichole got married and Clara was the flower girl! She looked SO cute-- and she did such a great job! During the rehearsal, she was all smiles. the little ring bearer, Kyler, ran down the aisle, but Clara kept her cool and walked and tossed the petals.
The morning of the wedding, Clara woke up, looked out the window, and said, "My Wedding!!!" Close, sweetheart... She took a nap and I woke her up about an hour before the ceremony. She wore a cute red dress with a brown bow and felt like a princess. She grabbed her basket full of flowers and was ready to go! The ring bearer chickened out and would not walk down the aisle-- he had to be carried by his grandma (the mother of the groom). Clara walked in front of them all by herself just like she knew what she was doing! She threw her petals, and did great until she noticed all of the people at the wedding staring at her. Then she spotted me and started running! She made it about 7/8 of the way by herself though. She made me SO proud!!!
The trip to the wedding was quite an adventure! We took a motor home with my mom, brother, his girlfriend, my grandma, cousin, and uncle. Michael was smart enough to stay home! We managed to get through, and I was semi comfortable with my large belly! Clara really was a trooper for spending so many hours in a small space.
The day after we got back, Clara, Michael and I went down to Laguna Beach for the day. It was SO fun and relaxing and a great way to spend time with daddy for Clara! We really missed each other! We checked out the Sawdust Festival, and then walked down to the beach. Clara was a little leary of the waves at first, but after about 5 min, she was having a ball and made daddy stay out there for over an hour! She was exhausted after this, and took a nice nap on the way home. It was a great day to spend together!
