pre-wedding dinner

Cindy took all of us bridesmaids out to Olive Garden this evening so she could give us our wedding party gifts. I have to say that she did a great job!! We got these awesome tote bags, complete with our names on them. Inside each of them was a necklace, a pink beach towel, and a pink metal bucket filled with candy and goodies for the road trip down there =). We're having her bachelorette party after the wedding b/c she is so busy until then. She is in grad school right now, while working a full time job and to say that she has no spare time is an understatment. I don't know how she does it.



Aliyah wouldn't get in on the above picture and that's why you see her head in the lower left corner. She was too busy coloring with the new markers that Aunt Cindy got her. She also got this cute little pink backpack, complete with her name as well. It was funny b/c she saw Cindy carry it in and said "That backpack is for me b/c it has my name on it."


Kinsley was there too.

I had to get a picture of all the bags so you can see our names and the adorable cards that Cindy made for us. She did an excellent job!!!

I can't believe we leave in less than 2 weeks for Florida. Aliyah is getting super excited!! She got her dress today from Cindy and of course she wants to wear it. It's adorable and perfect for a wedding on the beach. I can't wait to get pictures of her in it on the beach. She's going to be a beeeeeee-o-tiful flower girl!!!!!
