Princess Party

On Sunday, we had a princess party for Sophia. We figured what better place to have a princess party than at Disney World. Sophia had a great time. She loved all her wonderful presents. The Newlyweds even joined the festivities. We had brunch complete with homemade breads from MiMi, sausage biscuits, and fruit. And of course what brunch isn't complete without a Princess Cake? The cake was so cute. I just loved it. She was not interested in getting into the cake. She actually cried when she got her hands in it. What a wierd baby. Thanks everyone for making her first birthday so special.

The Reception

The reception was out of this world. It was on the Boardwalk at Disney in the Dance Hall. It was beautiful. The pictures we have don't do it justice but take my word for it. There was a pre-reception and then a reception. It was so fancy. The food was delicious. And the cake.....One layer was Bailey's Irish Creme flavored. It was so good. I don't know how Sophia managed it but she ended up falling asleep for about an hour while we were there. She was on everyone's dance ticket. We had a great time.

The Wedding

The wedding was beautiful. It is so wonderful to see two people that are perfect for each other joining their lives together. We didn't have the opportunity to take many pictures. How many adults does it take to keep an 11 month old entertained during a 25 minute ceremony? 2. Yeah, both of us. She was good but we were basically standing on our heads.

What a cute dress! Thanks MiMi!

I've got them right where I want them.

The Groom (Steve) and his Best Man (Brian)

Jen was so beautiful!

Good Morning

After a LONG flight in, Aunt Julia and Uncle Bertie finally made it to Florida (for details see The Aguilar blog). Sophia was happy to see her aunt and uncle. We ordered room service (YUMMY) and then went for a swim in the pool. Sophia loved her pool float and the boys and I loved going down the waterslide.

Dessert and Fireworks

As if a wonderful dinner wasn't enough, we were escorted to England (at Epcot) for our private viewing of the Epcot fireworks. It was so cool. There was a dessert table set up with finger desserts like small pecan pies (Cory's favorite), eclairs, and small cheesecakes. It was yummy. Then we all enjoyed the fireworks show. I was worried about how Sophia would react to fireworks especially being so close. But as you can see from the pictures, she loved them. She sat on my lap just staring at them for the whole show. What a wonderful ending to the night.

Rehearsal Dinner

This past weekend, we traveled to Florida to see my cousin Steve get married at Disney World. We had a great time! The rehearsal dinner was held at The Living Seas in Epcot. It was so cool. One wall of the room had glass windows into the aquarium. Sophia loved looking at all the fish. The dinner was excellent with multiple tables set up with different types of food. Cory says that any dinner that includes chicken wings is a winner. He may be right. We felt so lucky to be invited. It was a great time.
