royal wedding

today was the royal wedding of prince william and princess catherine.  i stayed up all night to witness the fairy tale and what a beautiful show it was.  i realize we're not british or royal or even that important, but everything about watching this bride and this groom get married, was perfect.  i kept thinking that she grew up in a normal family, much like our family, and now she is an actual princess.

i was smitten with the whole affair and it was worth the hours of sleep i lost, even though my kids thought i was crazy.  i'm actually watching it again with craig, who slept through the first showing.

caroline hosted a royal wedding party tonight, inviting some girls from school over to watch the wedding and enjoy some british delicacies.  they all have stars (or crowns) in their eyes:

for the most part, the boys are not appreciating this, they're wandering around the house, watching baseball, and staying as far away from the girls as possible. 

oh, and it's snowing.  yep, on nearly the last day of april.  boooo to that.  we had two canceled baseball games tonight.
