Junior Prom 2009

"Time Of My Life"

Don't they look good, all dressed up in their finery?!

The pictures really don't do them justice.

How about a kiss on the cheek?

This wasn't given without a little laughter.

We have learned a few things about prom.


First: Never and I mean NEVER
get a bang trim the night before the
"biggest dance of your High School Life"
(Direct Quote)


Bailee was needing a tiny bang trim,
so a quick trip to supercuts was in order
because she only had like 15 minutes free
the night before.


DISASTER!! According to Bailee.
I have to agree the lady did a whack job!
This led to a lot of tears and frustration.
What to do?
Never go to supercuts again!!


When we went to get the updo,
she tried to fix the bangs.
They really are too short to do anything with.
So when we arrived at Darla's to get ready ,
It was Meagan to the rescue.
A twist to match the rest of her hair and
Walla, a darling hairdo that looked cute.
No More Tears.


Now she just has to wait for them to grow out...



Second: It's all about the dress!
A girl is a princess in just the right dress.
We had a very successful dress experience,
and when you can find just the right dress...
for just the right price...
Every body's happy...Including DAD!! :)



Third: They still really do the "Promenade"
This is when all the Juniors get to
be announced and walk down the grand staircase
with their date in tow.
Like an old fashioned coming out.
You arrive at the top of the stairs,
Your name is announced,
and you take a leisurely stroll to the bottom.
Smile, it is your moment,
and this is the "Time of your Life"!

"Sweethearts"

Bailee, went to her first semi-formal Dance..

"Sweethearts"

She was successful in pinning on the boutonniere.

Even after all the worry over it.

He had an easier job according to Bailee...Putting the flower on her wrist.
The cute couple being patient for the endless photos.
Daddy was working so we were ordered to take tons of photos.

Wait....One more picture before you leave.

The group came here after the dance to frost sugar cookies,

have sundaes and play games.

While Bailee was off getting her hair done, Andrew

decorated her room.

200 hearts taped to walls and ceiling...

rose petals covering the bed and floor...

and a few gifts.

Upon finally seeing it squeals could be heard all the way upstairs,

all the teens in the house had to traipse down and admire the work.

It made her feel very special and happy.

Before reluctantly cleaning up the rose petals, she posed

for a darling picture.

It was a great night and a wonderful Valentines day for her.
