Well, she finally turned 16 and went to her first Homecoming. What an event it was! She was chosen by her classmates to be on Homecoming Court, what an honor.
Finding the dress was another story...painful with many tears involved because there was nothing modest at all! We bought this dress and added all the pink/black to lengthen and cover as much as we could without making it looked altered. My plan for a sleeve just didn't turn out as expected, but I am so grateful for a mom who insisted I learn how to sew, boy did that skill come in handy!
Tim's truck was the Junior Homecoming float, decked-out with the tropical theme of course.
Followed by the Junior Homecoming court. She was thrilled to be riding in a Mustang (the very car of her dreams).
Sorry, we stink at photography from far away, but this is the Junior Homecoming Court introductions. Dallin is somewhere in the band behind her playing his saxophone.
And finally the night of homecoming arrived. Brennan took her with a group of 5 other couples.
The anticipation and fun before the dance was more fun than the actual event, but I'm sure she will want to do it again next year. Hopefully I can convince her to go with her dad or with Dallin as her date.
My girls!
Taylor, how grown up you look, a lovely young woman in a lovely dress (proud of you your Mom for helping you). Finding a dress for your dances will probably always be a problem, but you look beautiful. You follow after your Aunt Lorna - she made her dream come true with a 1966 powder blue Mustang, how she loved that car!
