Devorah's rehearsal

Ok - so about a month ago, Mollie's Great Uncle Sam kindly made me a flash drive with all of his gorgeous photos from Devorah's wedding rehearsal. I finall got around to uploading it on my computer and here they are! Thanks to Sam for some really fantastic shots here. (For those of you also on Facebook, many of these may be repeats).
The lovely ladies preparing for the rehearsal - Mollie's cousin, Aliza and Aunts Margie (or Mah-Gee) and Mimi.

Mollie, Auntie Margie and Cailin preparing for the big event. To me, Margie and Mollie really have a family resemblance in this picture.

Here they are practicing for the big event. Aliza is a professional flower girl, having performed this important duty and my and Louie's wedding too. So she was an excellent mentor for Mollie in the proper pace of walking and flower throwing. Margie and the rest of us, on the other hand, were scolded for not taking our duties seriously enough. Ooopy.

Mollie made the mistake of wearing Andrew's Dodgers hat for part of the time. As soon as Louie realized what was going on he made the switch.

The second practice run.

After the lunch, Grandma Liz and Grandpa David/Ahmed hosted a lovely brunch. Mollie probably thought the whole wedding and rehearsal were for her because her great Aunts and Uncles showered her with tons of gifts, including stickers, her favorite.

We also had some time to catch up with family members we don't see nearly often enough - like Cousin Jesse!

We're working with Mollie on getting used to dogs but she's still not loving them. I believe this is a picture of her waving bye bye to Pushkin, Auntie Mimi's pup. Their relationship really improved by the end of the trip.
