my little flower girl...

My sweet little flower girl.  We had good practice this summer with the flower girl role.  The first time around at Aunt Kate's wedding it was a struggle to get her in the dress and hair done.  Once that part was over, she played the role and did a fantastic job!  I was a little weary of this time around...it was a fancier dress...church wedding...and an ailse to walk down.  (@ Kate's she just had to step out the door and throw a few petals before reaching Aunt Shannon..plus she had her sissy by her side) She did have tears roll out when she realized Liv wasn't a flower girl with her but other than that moment she didn't cry a drop.  She had another little girl with her who just turned 3.  I think Harper realized she had to be the role model in the situation.  She was AMAZING!!!  I guess I didn't give her enough credit because it was easy breezy getting her to wear the dress and get her hair done.  It was a long day and even with no nap she held herself together and showed me that she can rise to anyoccasion.  I was by her side the entire day... actually I felt like I was in the wedding;)  Hair in the morning, pictures, waiting around, more pictures, and more waiting around.  The church had a nursery that she was able to play in right before the wedding started.  I waited and she played..and then there was her big moment.  It came and went in less than 10 seconds.  She nailed it!!!  I was very proud of her.. exhausted..but proud;)  This is the picture right before she walked out...
