Did your house get swept up in royal wedding mania today? Ours sure did!! Traci still remembers watching Charles' and Di's wedding back in 1981, so she wanted to share a similar experience with Katie today. First, Traci woke up bright and early at 5AM (30 minutes before her alarm!!) to watch for a bit in peaceful solitude before the rest of the household stirred. Thankfully, Katie did not wake up until nearly 7:30, so Traci got to see most of the ceremony live with just Michael on her lap. Once Michael went down for his morning nap, Katie begged to watch some of the wedding with Mommy. We did watch....THE ENTIRE THING...from car processions to carriage rides to the fly-over, in 30 minutes chunks throughout the day! Katie was enthralled! Traci's favorite parts? The DRESS (so lovely!), the vows (always nice to actually hear their voices), the carriage ride, and the two balcony kisses. Katie's favorites? The bridesmaids (her age!), spotting the queen (bright yellow!), and the funny hats. Michael's favorites? The trumpets and drums (he liked imitating them) and the HORSES (many neighs emanated from our living room). And, Mike??? Well, he might watch the fly-over later...that's about it.
Overall, wonderful watching a gorgeous ceremony with such pageantry and happiness all around. Cheers!!

I also have fond memories of Charles and Di's wedding -- waking up in the middle of the night and having tea and scones with my anglophile parents. This time around I had to pass on watching live (the ceremony started at 3am for us). I recorded the whole thing and also watched in bits and pieces throughout the day. Jack even watched with me for about 30 minutes and was able to pick out the Queen and pointed out Princess Catherine and saying: "she's my favorite, she's so pretty!". I thought Catherine looked smashing but loved her sister Pippa's dress the best. Teddy loved the flyover and Jeff completely ignored the whole thing!
