Flower Girls

I've always loved children, however since I was the oldest kid in my family, I didn't think I would be an aunt for a long long time. Fortunately for me, Bob has 4 neices, and 8 nephews (9 if you include Braxton, Tessa's foster son, who will hopefully be an official member of the family soon!) Of course when it comes to planning a wedding, there aren't too many parts for kids in the wedding ceremony. So instead of choosing one neice to be my flower girl and one nephew to be a ring bearer, I decided to have all the neices as flower girls and the nephews will escort their sisters down the aisle. Today my future sisters-in-law Tessa and Lisa went shopping with me to get the boys ties and to pick out flower girl dresses. We had good timing too! My neice Lauren lives in Washington, and my neice Devani lives up in Ogden, however both were in town today to try on their dresses and make sure they fit right. All the girls loved their dresses, but Lauren seemed to like hers most of all. She was twirling and spinning, and refused to take it off. I had to resort to bribing her to get her back into her normal clothes! She was so upset with me when I told her I couldn't move the wedding to tomorrow so she could stay in her dress. Such a silly girl! When I said bye to her though, she told me she loved me, and called me aunt Brittney. It was such a happy moment for me. Then my neice Katie, who was late to a baby-sitting gig, told her neighbor she was late because she was with her aunt picking out "wedding stuff". It's amazing how much I love hearing aunt already, I adore all these kids, and can't wait to make it official! Here are some pics of the girls in their dresses:
