First Dance Pictures!
I said I wouldn’t post pictures in my Facebook album… but I am going to put them in a blog! (Okay, so I’m one of those devious, literal word-means-exactly-what-I-say moms.) I’m happy for my little girl and proud of the woman she’s become. And, well, since my first “boy-taking-me-to-a-dance” was my wedding reception, I thought her first dance (homecoming at a friend’s school) was a big deal.
As previously mentioned (dress shopping blog), my eldest daughter isn’t much of a shopper. She had a dress in mind and set out to find it. She tried on one from my sister, Becca, and LOVED it (still likes it best) but learned black was the rival team’s color so of course, she just can’t wear black. So she decided on green.
This was the result. (No, that’s not our truck)
We met her date’s family at a restaurant (they were going to eat before going to the dance) and the moms and aunt took pictures!
^ (Jaquline called, “why can’t you get closer to each other?”)
^ Becky got a bit of a smile.
I’m sure this was either his aunt or mom, (His family made the girls each a wrist corsage) but the next three are my favorites!
Especially this one ^ – probably after they heard some tease.
After all the pictures were taken, just before she left for dinner, she makes Becky promise not to post them to Facebook – and I said, “we’re not posting anything to Facebook tonight.”
Becky rolled the window up and smirked, “mom, you’re going to post them in a blog, aren’t you?”
Kimberly and Jaquline laughed in the backseat and I heard one say, “that’s what Mom does to everything… write a blog about it.”
Yes, either I write it in a blog or hide it in a book somewhere! (Where else am I expected to glean inspiration?) My children know me well…
Thanks for reading!
Type at you later…
