A Family Wedding

So this is a bit of a blog flashback. 

On January 7th, Laura's cousin Nate got married.  We don't have a family wedding every day and always look forward to a chance to dance and party with our family.  This was the first family wedding that Ruby got to be a part of.

We weren't sure how long these baby blues would stay open, especially being up 3 hours late the night before!

Dinner: Ruby ate half of Mommy's plate and then half of Daddy's.  We may need to start ordering her her own plate! :)

on the dance floor with Mommy in her pajamas - we changed her into jammies at about 7:00 so that we'd be prepared when she tuckered out

Noah and his grandma Kathy busting a move

Aryah loved any time she could get with Ruby.  Notice Ruby's upside down binky - she goes through phases.

Dancing with Uncle Sam... by now it was like 9:00 and she wasn't fussing

Daddy and 'uncle' Clint... perhaps a few drinks in :)

Super Mama- 'aunt' Kelly with Hannah and Noah on the dance floor

Finally we got her to cuddle with mama and watch the dance floor... and she drifted off.  Here's the mamas with their sleeping babies.

The dancing continued on long after Ruby fell asleep.  This is Ruby's grandpa Al and his sister (mother of the groom) Eileen

Family on the dance floor.  So thankful Miss Ruby slept in her carseat in the corner until the end of the dance.  She was a trooper, allowing Steve and I to have an awesome time with our family.  There is no doubt the Reicks family knows how to have a good time... always keeping the dance floor full.  It's exciting to start to pass these traditions on to our daughter.
