Easter 2008

We spent Easter this year in Vienna with the Woods. Natalie (Landon's sister) married Matt on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony and my baby girl was the "flower girl." Natalie broker her ankle the day before so all things considering, everything went great! She was a real "trooper." She had to come down the aisle in a wheelchair and then Matt carried her out. The ending was sooo sweet. And, Laura Beth was so adorable. I was reminded again what a brave, bold little girl I have. She is definitely a mixture of my sister Jennifer and Natalie. I was a more reserved child and Landon still is at times. When they opened the doors for her to walk out she had no reservations. Over 100 people were staring at her and she started trying to hand people her rose petals. Landon ended up having to scoop her up because she was taking so long. Then she got upset that he wouldn't let her finish. Sunday we went to Mema and Grandaddy's lakehouse for lunch. Laura Beth was spoiled with lots of goodies. Nana and Papa sent her a very thoughtful basket full of treats, books, and clothes. Meme and Poppy gave her a new pair of shoes and a dress, and Aunt Frances and Uncle John brought her a basket full of goodies, a dress, and a cute Teddy. Her favorite treat was the oreos the Easter bunny left. I let her dig into them against Daddy's wishes. :) I wish I had a picture of all of the black goop running down her chin. We attended church with Meme and Laura Beth almost made it through the service. I ended up missing the end of the sermon and joining the other toddlers that couldn't sit still either outside. It was a nice weekend but we were glad to get back home in our own beds.
