Friday

On Friday, the Bacot's hosted a lovely bridal luncheon at Ouisie's Table.  Anna Belle's headband and shoes are the same as she wore to the wedding.  She is SO beautiful, and I have a hard time not constantly gushing over her.  Ann wore the Manola Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pump, like Carrie in Sex and the City.  I found a lady on Etsy who custom designed these matching shoes for Anna Belle.

On Mother's Day, Anna Belle got the next size of Aggie shoes.  On the ride to lunch, she decided to wear these instead.  I decided it was probably best to preserve the blue shoes.

The tables were beautifully set with a monogrammed little box of goodies, a beautiful menu and a little description of the tradition of cake pulls.  I really should have taken a picture of each of those.

Allison and her mom are letting each of the bridesmaids pick a cake pull.

After lunch, we got our nails done and returned to Chateau Bacot.  Ann got little gifts for the kids, for their roles in the wedding.  Anna Belle got a bridal Barbie and Brady got a Nerf bow and arrow set.  Brady told Jeffrey he loves archery, which surprised Taylor and I.  He must have known what he was talking about, because he's been playing with it a lot.

Anna Belle was passed out at the rehearsal, but perked up for the rehearsal dinner.  At the rehearsal, I made her wake up and practice walking down the aisle.  She was so tired that she could hardly put one foot in front of the other.

The rehearsal dinner was at Cafe Adobe near the I10 Edward's Cinema (does that center have a name?).  It had a lovely patio to sit outside, the food was delicious and the kids loved wearing the table decorations : )
