NYE and Weekend recap

I'm recapping New Years and my weekend in one post. 

Mmmmkay?!?!

A bunch of kickball friends had rented out a bar in DC for the evening.

So the sissys, Le Beau and a few other friends got dressed up

and headed into the DC for a fun evening. 

Yes, you are seeing me wear the SAME dress I wore for Christmas.

But, I loved the way it looked and knew few people

would be wearing red on NYE!

WIN WIN WIN!

The bar was full of a bunch of our kickball friends and it was a blast. 

I indulged in a lot of fun drinks and had almost too much fun, almost!

Great example of the evening

My third New Years with C couldn't have been better. 

NYE kiss for the WIN!

The only glitch in the evening was securing a cab at the end of the night

which turned into a major ordeal. 

Thankfully, God was looking out and sent us 

the kindest most understanding cab driving in the world. 

We were all mega tired the next day, 

but the partying was worth it :)!

Moving on to this weekend now.

One of my cousins had a wedding down in SC this weekend and so 

the whole Brady Bunch jumped into the mini van and drove down on Friday. 

We had to make a quick stop at the Replacements store 

so I could pick out my china pattern.

Hahaha, just kidding. 

Mama B had to replace some of her broken china so the sisters

walked around and played silly kid games. 

A few hours later we were in Grenville and ready to rock.

We were invited to drinks after the rehearsal dinner

which was a lot of fun.

We were able to see family we normally don't see very often

which was so wonderful

MOB, BabySpice, Cousin, Mama B, Cousin, Me, Aunt, SportySpice

SportySpice, Beautiful Bride, BabySpice, and Me

The drinks were flowing pretty heavy, but we didn't 

party too hard thankfully. 

Saturday morning came way too early because we 

participated in the Bridal brunch. 

The food was delicious and the concept was pretty cool.

We were able to visit with family and the bride,

who was coooool as a cucumber I might add. 

After brunch the family walked around downtown, 

visited our great aunt who was in the hospital

[She is doing well, but please send up some prayers if possible]

and watched some football, napped

and then began getting ready for the wedding.

Y'all the church was PACKED!

I'm not kidding.

The balcony was FULL!

Luckily, we were family and had front row seats to the action.

Vows

The bride wore her mother's dress, which also was my
mother's dress too. How cool is that?

 Once the beautiful ceremony was over, we headed over to the reception.

The club was beautiful and the food was delicious. 

We had a great time celebrating a fabulous couple.

thanks girlie!]

First Dance

Grand-daughters with our grandfather [left]
and his good friend.

 We all were able to dance a song or two with our 83 year old grandfather.

He's got moves I tell you!

Funny story about my family, we like to use the SAME name. 

Below are the four ladies that share the same name in our family. 

My mother and the MOB are first cousins and
 named their daughters after themselves.

Sissy picture, of COURSE!

The wedding was so much fun,

we danced our feet off. 

There was a fun moment when the band was taking a break.

The DJ played "The Wobble"

and wouldn't you know, the three Brady ladies

were leading the dance group on the floor.

Check out the video ;)

We sent off the couple in style,

but they moved so fast we only could get

a back shot. 

"What are they Kenyan?!"

Sunday morning was a lil rough and the drive back to DC was

just a bit too long. 

However, the tiredness and drive was totally worth it. 

We had a wonderful time with family,

and I wouldn't have it any other way.
