Ellie Takes the Floor...

...and steals the show! This weekend, Ellie and I (Dan had to work) attended a McDonald family wedding in Yakima. I wasn't sure how it would go since it started an hour before her bedtime, but sure enough, Ellie had the time of her life and stayed up until 11:00!! Yikes! I learned very quickly that Ellie has her mommy's love for dancing the night away! She wouldn't leave the dance floor! She copied all the moves of the bride and her friends and even did the "YMCA." Seriously. Too funny. She thought the wedding was a "ball" and the bride was the "princess." I wish you all could have seen her. She walked up to Megan (the beautiful bride, I swear, she does look like something out of a Disney fairy tale...STUNNING!) and touched her dress SO gently, I think to see if it was real. Megan was so awesome and went out of her way to make Ellie feel so special. She was so patient and would stop everything just to talk with her, dance with her, etc. Ellie hasn't stopped telling me (and EVERYONE) that she "danced with the princess in the beautiful dress and hugged her too." Here are a few pictures. Unfortunately, I think the camera that took these wasn't on the setting for action shots because many of them turned out blurry but you get the idea. Enjoy! Love, Ang The candy dish that Ellie kept sneaking to all night long! No wonder she stayed up so late!

"Princess" Megan dances with Ellie. What a stunning bride and the sweetest person ever!

Such a little lady!
