Apparently, this looks like a wedding blog these days since Superior Wedding Rings is offering a a free tungsten ring or ring set to one lucky commenter (up to $120 and free engraving). Next week I’ll recede back into mommy Blog obscurity but one of you may as well enjoy some gorgeous new bling. 😉
So what do you do at a wedding reception with 22 flower girls/ring bearers, most of them under age 7?
You embrace them and love them while they walk in and out of photos…(seriously, I couldn’t have set that up better if I tried)
and roll on the grass…
and twirl…
and giggle at all the kissing;

We took about 40 various group photos but no blog post can be that long so I’ll give you just this one of Codye and her gorgeous sisters.

And it turned into a wild dancefest from there. Have you been to a wedding where the dancing just doesn’t take off? Just invite the Hammer family and you won’t have that problem.
I fell in love with this wild, crazy and wonderful family; they constantly hug and kiss and laugh with each other. It was hard to tell who were siblings and spouses and brand-new in laws and which children belonged to which set of parents because they all simply love each other.
And that’s a beautiful sight.

I want to come over and hug you right now. But I’ll wait for our 6:00 a.m. run to do it. Seriously…these are beyond great. Beyond expectation. Beyond capturing the moment.
And I can’t wait to see the rest of ’em! (I LOVE the dancing pictures!) : )

They are a lovely couple. And clearly, they have many good examples of working relationships from which to learn. What a sweet bunch of kids, too. I like the little pirate kid.
