Rehearsal Dinner

We had Mireille and Jerry's rehearsal and dinner tonight. It went very well actually. I was a bit concerned about the boys being up so late, but it turned out okay. The rehearsal was very easy, given the small wedding party. Of course the most difficult part is just getting everyone focused before they go into party mode. Travis and Justin are both ring bearers (Travis will obviously have more duties in this than Justin...) Travis walked down the aisle very well. Of course the real test is tomorrow when he is over-tired and has to walk AWAY from mommy, down the aisle.

The dinner was fabulous! It was a bigger group than the wedding, but still only about 40 or so. They used it as a sort of going away party, with most of Mireille's friends from Houston along with the out-of-town wedding guests. It was a yummy dinner, but the boys have been a little under the weather with fever and cough so we planned to head home early. (Justin is on the upswing, Travis is on the way down now...) But then we learned about what was coming for dessert: chocolate cake! And that perked Travis right up! So we had to stay for that at least. Uncle Johnny cut us off a piece of cake:

And it was good!!

Justin did well being over-tired and being passed around and shown off. Ami is very proud of her nephew! She is going to miss him so much. And Travis already is disappointed for not being able to move to Washington. We had to tell him finally that only Ami and Uncle Jerry are moving, not us too. I don't think he quite understands, but we'll give him some time.
