bribery!

My little niece, Claire, was asked to be a flower girl in my Uncle's wedding. She JUST turned 2, so we knew that there was a good chance that she wouldn't walk down the aisle once the day came. She had practiced at the park, but a 2 year old has no idea what they're being asked to do...especially when the chairs/aisle aren't setup in the park. My sister turned to bribery. I personally think that bribery is COMPLETELY fine! Hey...it ended up working. Claire walked down the aisle all because there was a big sucker waiting for her at the end of the aisle! See, a little bribery never hurt anyone!

The morning of the wedding we walked into town to visit the candy store. For my family members out there, I'm sure you find this shot funny considering that Jess was a sugar-a-holic herself when she was Claire's age!


Claire chose the Whirly Pop. We bought one to eat right away, and saved the other for the aisle-walking.


She was really excited about her purchase.

Probably the first time ever that she's smiled at the camera!


Enjoying it on the walk back...

This was taken at the wedding rehearsal. The page in this book that Lyza is looking at has a mirror. Whenever Lyza looks in the mirror she puts this HUGE smile on her face. I just LOVE her chubby cheeks!!:)


More to come later this week when I post my Uncle John's wedding photos!!!
