Homecoming ~ 2008

PA044132
My girl had her first High School Homecoming Dance this past weekend. She had the time of her life and I was in my glory watching my girl get ready, be nervous, giggle with girlfriends and have a great time with her date. PA044200
Emmie and Cody are great friends and have been for quite a few years now. PA044198
We made them do the flowers by themselves. It was easy for the guys of course, just a slip over the wrist....but the girls
were scared to death of those pins! ;) It was adorable to watch. PA044161
Just me and my not so baby girl anymore. PA044195
She took my breath away. PA044187
The snazzy couple. PA044143
Lauren, Emmie and Kenzie.
These three girls have been friends since preschool. PA044178
The group for the evening minus one date on the end.
She was running a little late. I thought they all looked stunning! collage56
Three friends being silly and showing their true personalities. PA044214
Cody and Emmie, Shannon and Dillon. Dillon's Mother put on a fabulous dinner.
Chicken, rice, corn, garlic bread, baked potato's, great snacks before hand and a
yummy ice cream dessert. The tables were set with gorgeous
place settings with flowers in the center. It was totally amazing. PA044173
Shannon, Lauren, Kenzie and Emmie.

My beautiful girl. I love you so much.
Love, Mom

Steffie ~ Loved the picture of you and Emmie. She looks oh-so-grown-up. Whereas you look to be the epitome of youth! This is, of course, as it should be.

Stef,

Oh my gosh! I think you have a mini me on your hands. Meaning she looks so incredibly much like you. From the side her profile is like ok am I looking at Stef or what? Oh what fun you must have. She's beautiful, your sweet baby girl! Enjoy!

Steffie,
What a beautiful girl!! All of the pictures are great. I just love the collage of the three girls together being goofy.

BTW, I am hoping no news about Emmie's headaches is good news. Have things improved with her migraines?

oohhhhh I love homecoming pictures. This is the first time in 11 years that we didn't have one of our son's attend Homecoming. It's weird to have them all out of the house. Emmie is beautiful as always. I love her dress. I'm happy she had a good time : ) Life goes by so fast. Savor the moment my friend : )

Thanks for sharing and getting me excited for our first Homecoming event at our house next weekend. The dress was bought a month ago (even before a date had asked;) but we are so excited for all the girly fun involved with the hair up-do's, sparkly make-up, painted nails and such!!! Hailey is going with a big group of friends too and the boys and their parents are making the dinner also. Love that!!!

Emmie looked amazingly beautiful and her date was quite handsome also!!! They are so fun to watch grow up, aren't they???
