Flowergirl for Hire

Does anyone need a flowergirl? It turns out my little Sophia is quite the performer. After preparing her (with books, videos, and talks of Princesses) for the important job for her cousin Jessica's wedding, Sophia was ready. She wore a yellow and white gown from Vietnam (which is where Jess Beeson - now Tocco - lives) with a flower crown of white daisies. She walked down the aisle holding hands with Lige (the other flowergirl) and carefully dropping yellow and white rose petals down the aisle. Every once in a while she would stop dropping flowers to look up at her Mamma and yell "Hi Mamma" with a sweet wave. She won the crowd! If there wasn't a beautiful bride getting married, I think Sophia would have won the show ;). Sophia is now ready for any other wedding as a flowergirl...Lisa - are you ready?

Anyway, now that the wedding is over, next on the list is Dad's birthday party. Dad turns 60!! I can't believe it! We (Beck, John, Carol, and I) rented the whole bowling alley in Brazil for the occasion. So far we have 125 RSVP yes but who knows how many will show up. Hopefully it will be a lot of fun for Dad. I know Mom has been stressed out (or at least doing a good job of stressing everyone else out) for about 3 weeks. She keeps insisting we do not have enough food. Luckily for us we are having appetizers and cake which means we are not responsible for starving people not getting a meal that day. Ahh, I love appetizers.
