When they came back, Adia was happy to see me. I had all the tables covered, the cake was set up and the flowers were almost done. Adia ran off with a rose since she loves smelling flowers. DiDi, Gloria and I changed Lexi and Tanae into matching clothes and I did Tanae's hair. Heather was a hour late, but Tanae and Lexi had fun running around to everyone they knew. Adia stayed close to DiDi or me. She never goes very far when there are unfamiliar people. I guess it's a good thing.
When Heather finally arrived, Micayla got dressed and the ceremony started. I started with Adia and Lexi, but that didn't last. I couldn't hold both of them, the rings and a bouquet so Gloria took Adia to DiDi. The girls were crazy during the ceremony. I had a horrible time holding on to them. I lost Lexi and ended up with Tanae which made Adia come running back to me. Then Tanae ran up and jumped in Heather's arms. It was like musical chairs with children. The girls were more than ready when the ceremony finally ended.
I didn't get many pictures of the girls because I was busy chasing children and the cutting cake. I hardly had a moment to sit down the whole time. When almost everyone had left, Adia pointed up to heather and said, "Header! Up!" Heather gladly picked her up. It's taken a long time for Adia to finally warm up to her. Heather was especially touched that Adia said her name. Of all days of Adia to say it, she picked the right one.
We finished cleaning up and Adia stole my water. She can open bottles now and loves drinking out of water bottles.
We were all exhausted when the day was over. We took Adia and Tanae back to DiDi's house and plopped them in the tub. They were both pretty dirty. They went to bed early after a tickle fight between them and lots of bouncing on the bed.
Congrats Heather and Ronnie!
