Littau Family: Christmas and a Wedding

This past saturday was a busy day at the Littau house. We woke up really early so Mike, true to his word, got out the Christmas decorations. He always wants to decorate early but was worried about getting it done before the baby so he got it out extra early. The girls were super excited that morning and couldn't wait to put their ornaments on. Mike and I always get them a new ornament each year, put their name and theyear on the bottom. That way when they're older they'll have ornaments for their tree along with knowing what they were into that year. Last year Emily got an Ariel ornament, (no surprise), Ally got an Eden ornament from Barbie and the Christmas Carol, (her favorite movie), and we picked out Rylee a snoopy set. This year we picked them out for the girls as they were only $3.99 at Target.

This is Emily's ornament...Princesses.
Ally got to have a Tinkerbell ornament.

Rylee got a Winnie the Pooh ornament.

We rotate who gets to put the star on the tree each year and looking back at pictures, Allyson did it last year so Em had the honor this year...well of at least getting it on the tree because....

Mike felt bad for how sad Ally was and took pity on her and let her straiten it, she did a good job too.

After decorating, we shipped Ry off to mom and dads for a quick lunch and early nap. Then the girls and I got ready and went to Tricia's to get their hair done for my cousins wedding. They looked so so cute. Tricia does a great job with hair. This is Allyson's hair all pinned up. It was so adorable. She has a TON of hair and although it's a pain to do on a regular basis, it's great for things like this.

Here are the girls all dressed up and ready for pictures. This picture was before the actual photos started. By the end of the night, Rylee finally said "no pictures".

I caught Allyson sitting like this and thought it was so sweet. She looked adorable!

So I made Emily pose like that, she did her hand on her face on her own though. I thought it was super sweet.

Rylee wouldn't sit like that so she just sat. Her dress wasn't poofy enough for that anyway!

Emily's hair. It turned out beautiful and lasted all night. It's always a little sad to take it down.

All five of the flower girls. Left to Right...Ellyana age 2, Emily, 6, Ally 3, Rylee 2, and Trinity 5.

Bridal party.

Going down the aisle. Emily was so good during the wedding. She went down so nice and stood up there so still and serious. She was a great flower girl. She's had practice though, this was her third wedding.

Allyson and Rylee down the aisle...Ally was practicallly dragging Rylee down. Not because Rylee didn't want to go , because she loved it, but because Ally was nervous. Just look at the look on her face!

During the ceremony. Ally was a little wiggly and kept doing this huge fake yawn. Didn't expect that from her.
