During the month of July, we got to take a little trip to Mississippi for our cousin, Olivia's, wedding. Lincoln was asked to be the ring bearer for the wedding - needless to say, I was a little nervous about that! Lincoln is definitely friendly, but get him in a crowd where he doesn't know people, and sometimes you'll find him hiding behind my legs!
Thank goodness for Braeden! Lincoln's cousin was also a ring bearer, and lucky for us, he also loves monster trucks, so they became buddies pretty quickly. During the rehearsal, he headed right down that aisle like a champ!
And even better news, during the wedding he did the same thing! Now once he was up there, it was a slightly different story... He went all the way to the front - stood quietly for a minute, then tried to start up several conversations with Braeden. Despite all of Braeden's hushing (to which Lincoln loudly hushed him back), he continued to chat. Then dance. Then head towards the exit where his monster trucks were waiting! For the most part he did really well. He stayed at the front for quite a while, and I caught him on his way out, and convinced him to go back up and exit with the groomsmen. He brought quite a few laughs to the congregation!
Liam, on the other hand, proved to be his normal loud "worm in hot ashes" self, and Ashley had to leave with him before the ceremony even started. He got to wait it out in the car!
Afterwards, we went to the outdoor reception (where it was HOOOOT) and play. And all was well.
Olivia and Brad had a GORGEOUS wedding and made the very cutest couple.
And the boys really enjoyed the day - as well as the whole trip!
And here is our beloved Katie. Both of these boys are absolutely crazy about her. Lincoln ALWAYS includes her in his bedtime prayers. So cute.
And leave it to Nanny Link to start the dancing!
Of course we had to have a "doe-doe" breakfast before taking out of there!
It was a really fun trip, and I so love the area. Thank you Olivia for inviting us to be a part of your big day!
