Christopher and Jill's Wedding


At the end of our week in Virginia, we headed down to the North Carolina coast for a wedding.  Shawn's oldest nephew, Christopher, and his new wife Jill, were wed in a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the lawn of a historic southern home.  It was a joyous occasion, not only because Chris and Jill are such a lovely couple, but also because it was the first time in several years that all of Shawn's family (except 1 grandchild) were together.  So, of course there was lots of fun and lots of pictures taken!  Grace was honored to be the flower girl for the wedding.  She had been a little nervous but it didn't show, she did great!

On the morning of the wedding we took the kids to the Elizabeth City waterfront to see the boats.

All dressed up for the the big day


Nicholas was so excited for Grace to be the flower girl.  I think he was proud of his sister ;-)


Nicholas  was also very excited to be sporting his first ever bow tie and sport coat.
Turns out,  his was in good "bow tie" company with several of his cousins.

Nicholas was really feeling the music that night...he was a dancing machine!


Grace wasn't too interested in being on the dance floor, but Rory and Kaitlin got her out there for a song or two.
