A Day In the Life of…..A Flower girl


For the past week or so, I have been asked every day….”Is today the Wedding?” “When I am going to do my very important special job” Ironically  enough this past week Ava picked out a library book about about being a flower girl. The cover of the book gave no indication the book was going to be about being a flower girl. It was a perfect way to get Ava excited about this big day.
We started our day at the Angie's for a special wedding hair do! IMG_3333IMG_3335
Next on our list of things to do….paint the toes!

Ava was going to be sporting some super fun flip flops at the Bride’s request…..IMG_3344
to go along with her Zebra and Hot Pink touches at the wedding reception.

If I keep this girl in Texas long enough…..she might just ask to wear these under her wedding dress too one day!

She ended her fun day with some milk and cookies…

and found a new place for her shoes….

Congrats to you Maggie! It was a beautiful wedding and a fun memory for your little flower girl…(and her mom!)
