Family Cerkas: Craig & Ashley's Wedding

The whole family was happy to attend our cousin Craig and Ashley Cance's wedding in the beginning of July. Auntie Avery helped to corral Alena and tell her all about the bride (aka princess) that was getting married. Alena was in complete awe of how beautiful Ashley looked in her bridal gown. She even deemed the bridesmaids, including cousin Katie Rose, as fellow princesses. It was so cute seeing how honored Lena felt when the bride gave her a hug!

Thanks to my Aunt Nancy, the kids were able to play with a babysitter in a room adjoining the reception. Mommy and Daddy were relieved to have at least a short break! Once the dancing started after 9:30pm or so, Mommy grabbed Alena and took her on the floor to cut a rug. After all, Auntie Ashley, Auntie Avery and Mommy pride themselves in being "dancers" at weddings! It was only fitting that Alena hard-core boogied down along with her mom and Auntie Ashley. She would have danced the night away if it wasn't for us needing to make the hour long drive home for bedtime! She chatted the whole way home and didn't go to sleep until after 11pm! She certainly had a fun time :)
