All Dressed Up!

Oops. I double-posted today. Scroll down to see the other post about Ava's new car seat and to get an update on her strep throat.

Last Saturday, Ben and I drove to downtown Murfreesboro, TN for the wedding of Aaron and Hailey Carrol. Ben and Aaron work together, and they go way back to Denso days when when Aaron was a co-op in Ben's department. After many years, and Aaron's graduation from Tennessee Tech, he and Ben are together again! They really enjoy working with one another and have a lot in common - CARS! :)

The wedding was outside and was very beautiful. We were thankful that there was a fountain, a magnolia tree and a man with some flowers for Ava while the ceremony was going on!!!

When the minister pronounced them husband and wife, Ava said, "Uh,oh." Hopefully, only us and the folks on the back row heard that! We then enjoyed the reception next door, and Ava was so sweet toddling and crawling around in her dress. She enjoyed all of the activity, the lights, pushing the wedding chairs around and the bubbles!

The dress she's wearing actually has a story behind it. It was made by Thai women overseas trying to earn money and make a new start in life. My sweet friend, Beth, Madeline and Lisa bought this for her at a World Market Mission we attended a few weeks ago. It fits perfectly!

Here I am all dressed up!



Ava's new black patent leather shoes. She reminded me of Annie when I saw her in them!



Daddy entertained Ava with magnolia leaves before the wedding started.



Ah, the fountain. Ava LOVES water, and this is what kept her occupied most of the time!



The manager of the building gave Ava some pretty little flowers to play with. She threw them in the fountain. :)



Look at Ava's hair in this picture. It cracks me up!



The bride and groom



Hmmm.. what's this? Ava's also loves lights.





I hope no one got strep throat at the wedding!!!
