In October, we had our third wedding. It was my husband's niece, Nicole. I had the boys wear the same outfits that they wore to the California wedding. Problem was that their shoes were very tight (feet must have grown significantly since June), which made them more uncomfortable than they already were. (They hate wearing "dress up clothes"). We had anticipated this problem, so we brought their tennis shoes for after the ceremony.
They were very bored at the wedding and kept asking when we were leaving. We kept responding with "when the wedding is over". For dinner, Nicole had a gluten free chicken selection for SJ. Bob ate the same breaded chicken as the rest of us.
After cake cutting and dancing, we succumbed to the requests to leave. The actual wedding ended 30 minutes later.
In November, we had our last wedding of the year. It was one of my cousins on my dad's side. Of course, we had to get both boys new outfits and shoes. It was a little easier as they are finally accepting that they have to dress a certain way for more formal situations.
I went to the ceremony myself (LONG Catholic service) and went home to get my husband and the boys for the reception. My sister's family was attending the wedding as well. Jojo has two boys and a girl.
All the kids sat at the same table with my sisters, Jojo's husband, my husband and myself. I thought the boys would have more fun at this wedding since they were with their cousins. They had a little more fun, but still complained.
SJ had a lot of complaints about the noise in the venue. It was very loud and echoey. This is always problematic for SJ. One of my cousins got him earplugs. They worked when he put them in, but he didn't want to keep them in. It was still nice if my cousin to accommodate SJ.
There weren't any gluten free substitites for SJ, so he ate the Chicken Romano (and tons of sugar cookies) that was available for all. After my husband and I were done dancing, we gathered the boys and left.
