I love the family memories being built as you watch. Mostly I see this on the dance floor. Mom's, Dad's, Aunt's, friends, and other family members all busting a move with the kid's:) The joy in the kids eyes is just a wonder! Adults just seem to relax a bit and enjoy the moment.
A personal memory close to my heart....My youngest had crawled up on grandma's lap and fell asleep. My daughter was dancing with my husband, and I was dancing with my son. I overheard Austyn say "Ed, I love you" and saw her give him a big hug. Cameron's eyes were just shining and he looked up at me and said "mom, this is the best night ever". That's the great memories life is meant to be made up of.
My husband and I were able to sneak out for a couple slow dances together. It was so renewing to look at him, focus on him, forget everything but that moment, smile, kiss, and twirl. It was just us for a few moments. I smiled even bigger when he said he was lost in my eyes!
I don't know what it is. I guess it's just the joy you feel for your family and friends celebrating their love and witnessing them create a new family. It makes you focus a bit on your own blessings of love and family.
Whatever it was, we had a great weekend!
