Mommy, She's a bride!



This past weekend Abbie Grace was in the wedding of Kendall Bollen and Keith Jones. She did so well, we were so proud of her! Kendall was just beautiful as were all of her bridesmaids but for me, Abbie stole the show. She had such fun getting ready for the big day. We pulled her hair up and put her little bow under the bow and it looked great. She walked up with a little boy named Hunter and they were absolutely precious. The wedding and reception were great. So sweet and special for Kendall and Keith. We just honored to be a small part of their special day. We so enjoyed seeing so many good friends at the reception... the Bextermueller's, all the Bollens (of course) and Jean Grimes. Such a special night! One interesting event of the night was when Abbie spotted a fire on the table. Toward the end of the evening, Abbie was getting really tired and she was actually in the middle of a "disciplinary moment," sitting in Daddy's lap having a conversation about sharing her time with Eden when she pipped up about seeing a fire. We thought that she was maybe just talking about seeing the fire trucks or something but she was insistent that her Daddy needed to take care of the fire. Phillip said, where do you see fire Abbie and she said, right there on the table. Sure enough, we turn around and a napkin had caught on fire and it was spreading on the table. Phillip jumped up and snuffed it out. He later said, he would have poured water on it but all the stuff on the table was wine or alcohol of some sort and that wouldn't have helped anything. So, Abbie managed to save the day. But please don't call her a hero...it embarasses her! Enjoy the pictures of my sweet girl and firefighter in training!!
