Deb's Wedding

My step-mom's cousin Deb got married on Saturday. We attended the reception - all four of us. We weren't holding our breath that we'd be able to stay long. We just played it by ear.

Carolyn was such a trooper. She was supposed to take her 3rd nap on the way to the reception but chatted the entire drive. She got so tired made obvious by her constant eye-rubbing and red eyes. But she never cried (except when Cousin Linda was holding her and started laughing too loud).
And Eleanor was pumped up by us telling her about how she'd be able to dance at the wedding. That girl loves to dance! Once the music started, there was no getting her off the dance floor. You wouldn't have known it was her first wedding reception the way she picked-up on the chicken dance and hokey-pokey! Even Carolyn in her exhausted state watched Eleanor in awe and just laughed and laughed :)

Eleanor was so excited that her friend Brody would be at the wedding. All day she talked about how she was going to dance with him.

When the music started for the Chicken Dance, Aunt Julie asked Eleanor if she wanted to dance. Of course she did. Julie took her out to the dance floor. I'm embarrassed to say I had my doubts, but Eleanor proved me wrong and quickly had the dance down!

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah (twist, twist, twist, twist). I told you that girl can dance!

So, Eleanor is quite the dancing queen. She and Darren would get along great, he loves the chicken dance! Can you believe that? I can barely get him to slow dance with me at a wedding, but play the chicken dance and he runs to the dance floor.
