Before Prom

I just thought I would quickly post a few pics from the Before Prom gathering.

 Lexee took her shoes off (can you spot one by the stair?) and enjoyed the fact that her friends Hailey and Katie were taller than she was.

A dad/daughter shot.

Putting on the boutonniere...

...and the corsage.

It was breezy and cold outside.  Unfortunate, since the weather had been lovely for most of the day.  But at least it didn't rain or snow.  Until the party bus rolled away.

A group shot:

A couple of couple shots:

We had fun with taking the shot in front of a picture of Christ... a gentle reminder to start the evening (wink)

And a few parting shots:

Our cute neighbor Chase, along with Mauri and his sister Lauren, had just been dropped off at home as the Prom party bus was leaving.  They had returned from spending two hours at a local gymnastics school celebrating and having fun at a birthday party.  He was sad... sad to the point of shedding tears... he wanted to go the "After Party" -- something about a BBQ following the birthday party.

Oh my.  Please don't tell me that might become the new standard.  A party, then an After Party.  

Prom is bad enough with

Before Prom

Prom

After Prom

and after After Prom.

Lex came home at 5:30 am.

The quick lowdown:

The party bus was fun.

Dinner (@ Hard Rock Cafe) was fun.

The Prom was smaller than anticipated (I'm not sure if she was talking venue size or numbers), but fun.

After Prom (@ the Family Fun Center) was not that fun.

After After Prom (breakfast at the Waffle House, then Mario Kart at a friend's house) was fun.

Sounds like fun was in the majority.  Nice.
