Last Sunday, my eldest niece was married, and almost all of my family was there to celebrate with her. I took only a few photos, and I couldn’t resist sharing one of the bride and groom. They were so happy, laughing and smiling at each other all afternoon!
It is a rare and delightful thing to have our family in one place, and I really enjoy seeing the younger generation interact with each other, as well as getting to hang out with them myself. Here I am, pictured with my eldest godson and third nephew, Drew. He’ll be graduating from high school in the spring, which is all sorts of astounding. It was just the other day he was a tiny, premature baby, wasn’t it? Let’s not talk about the 3″ heels I wore that did not make me taller than Drew!
I was so busy dancing and chatting (despite having laryngitis and a doctor’s order to be on total voice rest), that the afternoon flew by. The best parts of the day for me, over and over, came when I caught the eyes of my nieces and nephews and saw just how happy they were to be with their family. I am proud of my “kids” and proud to claim my role as Auntie.
What has you feeling proud lately?
It’s wonderful that you had such a great day together celebrating the new bride and groom. I knew you wouldn’t be able to keep quiet, though!
I second Carole! Lol.
Aww..thanks for sharing, sounds like you had a great day with your family (and you look beautiful as usual!)
Looks like a wonderful day! And what makes me proud…my one and only boy. Visited him at school this weekend and am so proud of the young man he’s become! Thanks for asking Beverly!
So lovely!
Okay I just have to say I love the white gloves – ADORABLE!
I’ve been proud of my honey lately. Things have been crazy and he hasn’t lost his cool (which is impressive).
my comment is also about those white gloves – LOVE! my daughter (age 24) is the eldest grandchild/cousin in the next generation on both sides of my family and some cousins are still having babies! I’m looking forward to the start of weddings (and new babies) with them.
