Flower Girl Peanut

Flower Girl Peanut with GammaPeanut had spent the morning at Cowboy’s mom’s house being thoroughly spoiled. She fell asleep on the way to the church and wasn’t sure what was going on when she woke up. She was happy to sit on my lap looking around, but we couldn’t get her to smile for love or money.

Flower Girl Peanut Looks Like a DollI just love this series of photos! Peanut still wouldn’t smile, but she stood very nicely instead of trying to run away.

Flower Girl Peanut Still Won't SmileI plan to play with these photos and various photo effects – I can’t wait to see them in sepia tones or black/white.

Flower Girl Peanut Processes Down the AisleFinally it was time for the service to start. College Boy processed with the cross up the aisle, then Cowboy’s sister, Ashley, followed with Peanut. Peanut loves her aunt but wasn’t so sure about all the people staring at them as they walked down the aisle.

Flower Girl Peanut After the ServicePeanut happily sat on my mom’s lap for the service and willingly went to Ashley when it was time for the Recessional, but she still wouldn’t smile. Maybe she was just scared of Jen’s big camera Can anyone tell what’s missing in this picture? Leave a comment if you know!

    Where is Peanut’s left shoe?

    • Karen,

      I wondered if anyone would notice – good eyes! It takes a mom to notice things like that. 😉

      I have no idea where it was when the photo was taken, but she did go home with two shoes so someone must have found it and put it back on her at some point.
