As Visions of K's Wedding Danced in My Head...

A couple of weeks ago we had the chance to attend our first wedding since the birth of Kinsley.
It was the wedding of our friends Martin and Haley! 

We thought it would be fun to bring our little sweet pea to the event! After all, how could we leave her at home when we had so many friends who were going that hadn’t met her yet! Jeff's dad and stepmom would also be there, so we knew they would like to see her too! They enjoyed showing her off at their table! 

So, we were on our way with our little sunshine…who might I add matched her Daddy quite well that day! Of course, I was in love with their SUNHINY yellow!

We had so much fun having her there…she slept the whole way there and once we arrived at the ceremony she was ready! Of course in the recent weeks she has developed what we like to call…Kinsley’s singing! This is where she plays with her vocal chords and she kind of sings! Haha…of course she decided to make this happen as soon as it got quiet and the music began. It cracked me up because I love when she does it…but of course we had to give her a pacifier to quiet her down and she wasn’t even crying! She was as happy as can be, and stayed that way the whole way through!! As soon as the ceremony was over and her Uncle Joshy spotted her, he reached out and snatched her from us! How could he resist his pretty, little niece?!?!?

We were then off to the reception! It was a blast hanging out with her at the table and having her dance and sing along with the music, though we were a little too close to the speakers for comfort but she survived! People were excited to see her beautiful face and could not believe how mellow, relaxed, and alert she was! Our friend Kale was so excited to finally meet her! He had a blast dancing to 'Party Rock' with her!

 I loved holding her on my lap, and all the while I couldn’t stop thinking about the simple fact that one day we would be on the other end of all of this! ONE day…far from now, we will be the parents giving away our sweet, beautiful Kinsley to one extremely lucky man. My hope is that that lucky man is just like her Daddy! It was a thought that brought many emotions about though they were happy ones! 

During the Daddy/Daughter dance, it began slow, and I of course was in tears thinking about Jeff dancing with Kins 20 something years from now on that dance floor…what an amazing thought! As the bride and her daddy were dancing to “Butterfly Kisses”, then soon did the switch to the crazy, fun mix of choreographed dances to random songs…I could totally see Jeff dancing with Kinsley in a fun way like that! Jeff savored every minute of taking Kinlsey out on that dance floor for her first dance with Daddy…since Daddy was taken, I got to dance with our friend Kale who whipped me around in the fastest 2 step dancin’ you’ve ever seen! I was whiling and twirling all over that dance floor! It was super fun…but what I loved more than anything was seeing that sweet Daddy dancing with Kinsley! So many people kept telling me how sweet it was to watch Jeff dance with Kins…and I totally agree!

 

She stayed awake for most of the evening except for a quick cat nap for about 20 min around 9pm or so! That little lady hung in there until the very end until her eyes could stay no longer stay open, she fell asleep right on the dance floor dancing with Daddy! Her poor little eyelids were the heaviest I have ever seen them and Daddy loved the way she just caved into him as she drifted off to sleep at the end of the night! What a dream, and what a neat experience with our new, little family only 3 months into her little life...one day we will see this tiny tot make the most sensational BRIDE escorted by he incredible Daddy who she already has wrapped around her finger...or should I say by the neck tie!   

Crazy girl grabbed her Daddy's tie! HA! Look at that face! She means business!
