this sweet little girl is my cousin rick and his wife jen's girl. she looks JUST LIKE rick when he was a baby. and i think she looks a bit like me when i was a tot. (this is what my girls will look like) she is very friendly, and SMART. she watched me click through my camera for five seconds, then grabbed hold and looked through the pictures herself, identify, daddy! pop-pop! unka mike! mommy! mom-mom! she is just so adorable! she partied with us until the polka (at 10!) then she finally crashed. so dear.

silly tradition

don't you just love the older woman out there? too bad she didn't catch it. i was rooting for her.

so my cousin's boyfriend caught the garter, and they blindfolded him. michael sat down right next to the girl who caught the boquet, and rolled his pants up. he pulled up this hose and stuck his leg out. we were all rolling on the floor.

because my family polkas...

yup.. we ARE Polish! what do you expect? every wedding my family has had, we polka-ed. let me tell you my friend, it may appear easy, but that is a work out! bouncing around on the floor twirling around... oh bless. that is my aunt bonnie and my cousin amanda, my mom with my cousin rick, and my uncle rick with his granddaughter alyssa.

the night was ended spendidlywith arms around one another shoulders, in a large circle, belting, and i do mean belting, "don't stop believin' " by journey. thats just how we roll. it was a fantastic wedding!
