Cora's 1st wedding: Johnny and Heather

Friday June 22nd this year wasn't just a Friday, or my birthday, but a fun family wedding too!  It was in Grove City, at Grand Oaks, a new event center--and our cousin Johnny (and now wife Heather) were getting married.  It was warm, and the wedding was at 6:30 outside, so we got the girls cleaned up and headed over after a quick bite. 

They were pretty squirmy, but grandpa did his best to entertain the girls--Garhett and Jackson were there too and that helped. Heather was beautiful and Amara enjoyed seeing her sparkly dress and jewels...and bacon. They had water chestnuts wrapped in bacon and I KNOW that kid at 10 of them if she ate one.  The funniest was that she couldn't' get Jackson or Garhett to even eat ONE and she was stalking the server like it was her job.

The reception was a bit overwhelming, all the sitting, and salads, then the toasts, etc. but once the announcements ended, she started enjoying herself. She partnered up with a little friend named Daisy, who was 5, and they had fun.

Cora danced herself right into the steps that lead up to the brides table, so she got herself a little bruise right away--but look how handsome daddy looks holding his baby girl!!

Amara kept taking my hand to the tower of cupcakes...funny enough, when it was time to dig in, she DIDN'T go for the blue ones! I guess they weren't big enough?  Kidding.

I mean LOOK how big these things are--they are muffin size for sure ;)  After cake, dancing, etc.  we headed to the photo booth and got some silly photos taken, she loved that and I think wanted to jump in on anyone's photos who would let her--lucky enough we got to bring some home, so I'll always have that goofy photo booth smile to remind me of the night.

Congrats Johnny and Heather!
