Candle By Night

Fair warning. This post is going to be super-duper picture heavy. :-) See...I warned you. But I didn't want to leave anything out. So... little background since I won't be posting a caption for every picture. These are from Friday the 7th. The day of the wedding. I hope you all enjoy the pictures. We woke up bright and early to head across the river to DUMBO so Sweet E could get her hair done with all the girls. She wasn't real sure what to think. She has never had her hair done up, or even cut, by someone other than me. She was a real trooper. The poor girl was so tired that all she wanted to do was lay down. We couldn't let her though because we were afraid of her hairdo falling down. (Which we had to fix twice anyway *roll eyes*). Oh well. :-) I thought these flip flops were great. The bridesmaids had black ones with their names on them. Breakfast with a hint of hairspray....yummy ;-) I just had to show this picture because (1) We have never seen Mom with this many...

Instead of writing an insanely long post about our trip I figured it would be better to divide it. So I'll just start from the beginning. We left on Wednesday at 5 am. This means that we woke the children up at 4:30 to get them all loaded up and into the van. So by 7:30 that morning they all looked like this. I think the trip there took about 10 hours or so. The children got so excited when they would see a sign for New York City. It was so cute. :-) And then...it all began. When we saw the Holland Tunnel we knew we were almost there. Here we go! As we exited the tunnel and got caught up in the middle of this...Beloved said, "I miss home." Poor guy. Keep in mind the semis on the left and right were parked. But, we did make it to our hotel okay. Couple of wrong turns, but nothing too bad. Thanks to my Dad we didn't have to pay $20 a day for parking either. He took Beloved across the bridge into Brooklyn. They ended up parking just around the corner from my sister'...
