On September 24th I got to go to a wedding reception. The Husband had to work, so I took the kids by myself. I probably wouldn't have attempted it, except the bride was a girl that I knew while on my mission. It has been about 10 years since I served in that area of Vancouver.
When I was on my mission, the bride was around 9ish. She was the cutest girl, then and now. My clearest memory of her was of her and her best friend (who just happens to be getting married in a few months herself) doing cartwheels on the front lawn as my companion and I were doing yard work. She was actually our next door neighbor. We lived in the basement of the house of a sweet older lady who actually was not a member of the church. I got to see this lady again at the reception along with about 3 families that I remembered and that remembered me.
It was so much fun and the kidlets actually did a pretty decent job. I only lost Lulu once for about 30 seconds and both Lulu and Sticky only founds treats at the the refreshment table about 2 or 3 times by themselves. The kids looked way cute in their church clothes and of course I wasn't able to get a picture. I was concentrating so much on remembering people and keeping my kidlets in order, that I didn't get a picture at the reception either. Oh, well, at least I got it down here.
