Princess Haley and Her Party

That is how Sophie refers to last weekend's festivities. Last weekend, which also happened to be my darling Husband's birthday (poor guy his birthday kind of got lost in the shuffle), May 22nd, we traveled to Bald Head Island, NC to attend a friend of mine's wedding. A very dear friend from high school, Haley, got married to a wonderful man, Marcos on a beautiful, hot, but beautiful morning with a picturesque background of the beach on the deck of the Shoals Club at BHI. Sophie was in her glory watching Haley walk down the aisle in her beautiful lace adorned wedding gown and later at the reception was star struck to say the least when the beautiful bride paid attention to her and gave her a sprig of hydrangea from her bouquet. Sophie was overcome and could not believe how beautiful Haley looked, she kept commenting again and again how she looked beautiful just like a princess. It was a short trip for us, but well worth it to see so many old and familiar faces from high school (hard to believe it has been 10 years!!!) and what better way to get reacquainted than with a celebration of love and two lives joining together as one!

Sophie is actually still talking about the wedding (aka, Haley's party) and "Princess Haley" almost a week later, She will get all dressed up in her princess dress up clothes and shoes and tell me that she is Haley! The girl is all about everything beautiful these days, she refuses to wear anything that is not a dress, insisting that if she is not in a dress then she is simply not beautiful. We have another wedding to attend to in July when another of my very best friends from high school ties the knot, I am sure then it will all be about "Princess Leslie"!

Upon our arrival at the hotel Sophie found herself a "little spot" in between the pillows to hang out.

Jonah hung out in the Pack n' Play.

The light was beautiful on the back deck at the rehearsal dinner.

This was the moment Sophie had been waiting for all day!
