This weekend was a BIG Cardoso Family event. Jade's Beautiful Aunt Jessie got married and Jade was privileged to have been asked to perform as the flower girl. She was super excited because we told her it wasn't just a flower girl, but a flower princess. And of course, being a girly girl, she loved the dress. I don't have any wedding pictures, because I too was honored to have been asked to be a bridesmaid but I was able to take some fun female bonding/prepping pictures.
The morning started with a typical trip to starbucks, her ordering her chocolate milk, and me my decaf, grande, non fat, light whip mocha and then we walked over to the nail salon. I was in desperate need of a pedicure and I figured since she was with me, she should get her nails painted, if she wanted to. At first she didn't, but when I promised her that it wouldn't be a man painting her nails, she happily obliged. I took her to select a color and as usual she initially reached for pink, but then she changed her mind and asked for white. You will notice in a few of the pictures, her VERY white nails. Her toes match too, but there were no pictures of them. She was so good sitting through the entire painting process and being very careful not to smudge the polish. Actually, she was SO GOOD that entire day! Anyway, here's some fun pictures.
Notice the beautiful white nails.
A perfect shot of her jumping in the air with excitement to be wearing a princess dress!
The Beautiful Bride.
Some of the fellow bridesmaids. There were nine total, so a few are missing. Jade is being held by her Aunt Kelly with her Aunt Kristen to the right. The other three young ladies are life long friends of Aunt Jessie.
Here is a picture of Jade with Santa. She was not scared, shy, or timid. She was determined and excited. She asked Santa for "a black doll, a purple watch and a computer." I am pretty sure that Santa will not be bringing the computer. When I asked her to describe the computer to me, she described a desktop!
