Wedding Weekend V

Caitlin took care of Dagny during the entire ceremony--walking around with her and occasionally getting to sit down with her.  My mom took this photos from across the row and I think it's awesome!

 Finley did great during the ceremony and waited nicely in his chair while Dan and I each did our readings up front.  He did have a few loud outbursts, but they were timely and got a few giggles from those around us.  At one point he asked, "Why only boys wear kippahs (yarmulkes)?" and later, "Whoa--look at that bug!"

We enjoyed the cocktail hour and Finley enjoyed taking bread off a tray with tongs and then eating it.  So polite :) Dagny hung out with my sister and parents, though I would occasionally check in on her.  I nursed her and changed her, but otherwise let them take care of her.

The reception was lots of fun, but Finley needed a break from all the action so he watched a quick Caillou episode during the speeches and before dinner was served.

He loved the music and discovered how fun it is to dance at weddings.

Dagny had her first dance, too.

 I barely had to hold her at all since there was a line of people interested in doing so! It's like the parental version of Wedding Crashers...show up with a tiny baby at a party, pass her off, and go enjoy yourself!

Later, Caitlin kept watch in the hotel room while Finley slept and Dan and I got to enjoy some dessert and dancing before calling it a night after the last song.  Ellie was impressed that Dagny was partying late night but I was even more impressed that she ended up sleeping from 11pm to 5:15am without a peep! We may have a party animal on our hands :)

After a delicious brunch and one more valet golf cart ride for Finley, we headed back home.  It was a wonderful weekend all around--thanks to Ellie and Donny for such a terrific occasion!
