I LOVE this pic. We got Elena this tutu for her 2nd birthday. I heard she's worn it several more times since we left that day. She's quite the big sister now to Naomi, born on October 24th. Notice the shirt she has on...Green Eggs and Ham. Maci said she insisted that Naomi get a newborn one just like it!

Salado Christmas stroll w/ Hubby!

I lovingly called this in my picture album-- "The Thanksgiving that Wasn't! " But I don't really mind...as long as my Jack is alive! He had a fainting spell right before the meal. I teased that I hadn't even served anything yet, so he couldn't blame it on that. It was quite an exciting day at the BW Clubhouse. We knew he was coming to when he said "Why did you call the ambulance?" That sounded more like it. My grandmother has a picture of the thanksgiving table and the next picture she took on her camera was of me, Josh and Jack at St. Lukes. It was a memory, nonetheless. Jack said he waited until after the wedding to pull this stunt!

I've got to brag on my husband...he made this fireplace for me! We had some great friends- Tom and Greg Curnutte to help us. We're going to stain in soon!

The best party-thrower of all... the MOB. She had a stellar silver and pink makeover party at Capelli's for Kayla's bridal brunch and updo party! I couldn't leave this detail out. This was the pink sign displayed at the entrance of the salon.

The Kiss

This is one of the Carr family traditions. Mom has one of her in the middle of Jajo and Bobby. I have one in the middle of mom and dad. This is the third in the line up. A few years ago for Christmas I put mine and my mom's pics together in a gold frame. It read "And they both lived happily ever after." I'm so glad we have Kayla's to add to the colection! Look closely, and you'll see another part of the tradition. With the MOB on the right, she is careful to NOT touch the bride's cheek b/c of her own lipstick. While the FOB, goes ahead and plants a good one!!!! It has happened in all 3 pictures.

Does she look happy or what??? The future Mrs. Smith in just a few minutes!
And how about those fur muffs and capes? Thanks to Mr. Pylant for the use of his '48 Olds. A grand vintage wedding it was!
