Her first "formal" event has come and gone. Excitement, preparation, and butterflies were all present leading up to the big event. She picked the perfect dress. Her hair was just the way she wanted, and she let old mom do her face. One boutaniere later and the date was at the door ready to go take pics and have a bite to eat before the first big adventure in growing up.
The pics turned out grand and she didn't spill a single thing on the dress (even though she was totally expecting to!) At the dance the shoes were flung off and there was dancing through the night. They never sat down the entire evening. She has great friends that love her and they really compliment each other, not in words but in diversity. Each of her close friends brings a different attribute the group and they are one great group of girls.
I'm so proud to have been a part of her special night and to be her mom for all the fun stuff coming up in high school. So grown up. So little time for her to be my baby girl.
