While the highlight of the trip was the wedding, equally exciting was navigating our way south, a stop at the Dothan mall for a ride on their itty bitty carousel, making the wedding cake (for 300) with Mimi, and spending time with Uncle Ben! (We missed you Aunt Jen!)
So glad we had our trusty navigator with us to direct the way. She even was convinced that we didn't know the way and continued to ask her daddy if he REALLY knew how to get to "Tawahassee". We assured her that he did. 
Anne Bailey was less concerned and slept a great amount of the way down.
A stop at the Dothan Mall afforded us a chance to ride the carousel - and for mommy to get in trouble for letting Anne Bailey get off the horse while the ride was in motion. I asked the high schooler working the carousel if she had ever tried to reason with a 16 month old. Oh well, it was an experience.
Mimi was in charge of decorating the cake for the wedding (for 300 guests)! It was DELICIOUS and Ellabee wanted to get into the game. Mimi had the forethought to bake a little cake that Ellabee could assist with decorating... and she was only one who could (or WOULD) eat it
The cake decorators.
Anne Bailey meanwhile was thoroughly entertained by her Uncle Ben.
too cool for the wedding. Ellabee was excited to see the pretty ladies and the princess (Brittany). I have to admit my glee to find out there was a young boy Ellabee's age there who acted up during the entire service - taking the pressure off our own little terror.
No, I didn't intend for Ellabee and me to match dresses - but everyone thought I did. I'm just not the mommy and me type - right?
Notice the crocs with the dress! We don't really own dressy shoes - nor will she wear them. When we tried to purchase appropriate shoes for her to wear with a dress she informed us that we could buy the sandals she was trying on, but she wouldn't wear them... crocs it is.
