The Lockhart Family: Weddings

So far this month we've spent our weekends at weddings. My cousin Tammy (Kimmes side of the family) had an outdoor wedding on the 1st. Aside from Bridget's wedding on the beach, it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended! McKenzie & Lauryn were on the dance floor from the moment the ceremony ended until the time we left. They had a BLAST! My cousin Natasha (Heiman side) got married on the 8th. Natasha was a beautiful bride! The Heiman family only gets together once a year, so when we get together we have lots to talk & laugh about. It was great to see everyone again!

After attending back-to-back weddings, I remember why our kids, or kids in general, aren't invited to weddings very often. Tammy's wedding wasn't your typical wedding set-up (considering it was outdoors) therefore the kids could run anywhere & do anything without being in the way. However at Natasha's wedding, the only place to run was in-between people & tables. I was afraid the girls would run into someone or something doing so, so they spent a lot of the evening sitting at the table with Jamey & I...not fun for them! Aside from that, I know how expensive wedding meals can be & was sick about how much money was wasted on the girls' meals. McKenzie's an extremely picky eater. (It drives my dad craaazy!) At both weddings, she filled up on buns & pickles. Lauryn's a much better eater & had slightly more to eat than McKenzie but still threw the majority of her meal away. I guess the point of the story is, despite how much fun the girls had at Tammy's wedding, I might think twice about bring them to the next wedding they're invited to. Below are pictures taken at both weddings.

The girls don't enjoy posing together for pictures but I make 'em anyway. :)

Lauryn & Grandpa - My dad can never just SMILE in pictures. He always has the same smirk on his face.

Lauryn & Mary - For those of you that don't know, Mary's my dad's girlfriend.

Lauryn & Grandpa Dennis again. Yes, Lauryn wore the same shirt to both weddings. I figured she's 6 & can get away with it. ;)
