sweethearts

Last weekend was our high school's "Sweetheart" dance. Raegan went with her good friend Chase. It was HIS first date as he had turned 16 only a few days before the dance.



Raegan's dress was originally sleeveless so I sewed some sleeves into it, and it turned out great! Although I had procrastinated doing so until a couple hours before they were to be to dinner (two hours is enough time to sew some sleeves, isn't it?! Apparently not enough time for me!) I was still sewing on it 20 minutes AFTER they were supposed to meet their group of friends. Let's just say it was a little....intense!

After the dance they all came back to our house and immediately made Raegan give an impromptu harp concert.


The kids couldn't figure out what the "little door" was, but soon discovered that it was a slide that leads to our basement. They loved it! Even a few of the girls went down - dresses and all!


Going down the slide - WHEE!


Popcorn and M & M's? Check.

Swedish Fish? Check.

Good movie to watch? Check.

All twelve kids gathered in our theater. (Why is Chase the only one wearing a white shirt and all the others are black?? Am I behind on a trend here?)

Boy, do these dances ever remind me of good ol' Ogden High School dances. (I'm quite happy that I am past that stage in my life!)
