The Best Thing About a Wedding....

....is the dancing!  Just ask Claire.


Last weekend a family friend got married.  Not long after we got there, Claire started signing eat.  Our table hadn't been called yet, so we distracted her by walking around the block and visiting the park across the road.



Over an hour later our table was finally called to the buffet.  In true toddler fashion, Claire refused to eat anything.  We hung out at the table through the toast and cake cutting hoping Claire would decide she was hungry again.



Then the music came on.  Bribing doesn't usually work with Claire, but that night it did.  With a little chicken to fortify her she was ready to dance.



And dance



And dance



Two and half hours past her bedtime and she was still going strong.



I, on the other hand, was beat.  We bundled everyone into the car and headed for home.  I figured Claire would be asleep almost as soon we made it into the car.  She surprised me by staying awake until we got the to the farm (only fifteen minutes away) and got her into her jammies.  Once we made it through our nightly routine she crashed hard.



Three hours late to bed, but still up at her usual time in the morning....
