Our Little Jitterbug

Mom and Dad took us out to eat at Carabba's on Friday, January 25. It was so nice for us all to be together and just enjoy one another's company.  
 

Saturday, January 26, Kayla had her first dance recital at the Northwest Arkansas Community College with a group of students from her daycare. They meet once a week on Thursdays with their dance instructor and they have recitals twice a year.

 

Our little chipmunk is on the left side...
 
 
Here's a video of one of her dances.
 
 
I laughed the whole time because their costumes were so stinking cute. I'm not sure dancing will be Kayla's forte, but she definitely enjoys it!
 

Like any true southerner, our daughter wanted a treat after her debut performance so we headed to Braum's for some ice cream.
 

 
Birthday cake is currently Kayla's favorite.

Christina's Wedding Day, January 19, 2013

 
 
Saturday morning began at Mom's house with beauty shop in the bathroom and dining room.
 

I did Lara's makeup for her wedding, so it's only appropriate I do it for Christina's as well.
 

 
Rhyan was our hair stylist.

 
My only matron of honor duty was to do the bride's makeup.
 
 
 
Due to all of the hustle and bustle at the house surrounding getting ready, Kayla did not get a chance to nap. So, she got a small one in on the 30 minute drive to White Hall from Sherwood.

 
Nene, Papa, and their favorite little granddaughter; actually, their only grand baby period.

They get to pucker up for the rest of their lives!

"Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters..."
 
 
Our sweet flower girl forgot to throw out her snow, but she did such a great job walking down the aisle so sweetly and slowly.
 

Our two dads are ready to give Chrissy away...

All of our hard work on Friday paid off. The food tasted delicious, and looked great!

Church gym converted into winter wonderland...
 

 
The miracle workers pulled it off!! It was a GORGEOUS winter wedding thanks to Mom and Aunt Rhonda!
 

Rhyan acted as DJ and her favorite line from the evening was "There are two food tables folks. There are two tables..." Despite her repetition, everyone still seemed to think the food on the left hand side was better, despite the fact there was the exact same food on both sides.

Another father-daughter dance (Brian, get ready!)
 


Kayla was such a trooper and after a night full of fun, food, and dance, she was POOPED!!
