one of the highlights of the school year for sadie was junior prom.
here is an overload of pictures to help her remember her magical day.
i really loved helping sadie prepare for this day! i searched for the perfect dress and she LOVED it. she really wanted something modest, simple, elegant and beautiful. it was such a fun day for her.
i think it totally lived up to her hopes of the day.
(my favorite part of her dress was how her skirt flowed when she walked...dreamy)
vivian also was looking forward to this day!
she wore her finest gown and couldn't wait to go to the ball!
sadie's date, her good friend carson, was a perfect gentleman and really wanted it to be a great night.
when they left, vivian made kai stand next to her and wanted her picture taken too.
kai was the perfect prince charming and did it out of pure love for his sister....
until....
(look at that little sneaky look on viv's face!)
she leaned over to give him a big smackaroo on the cheek!
haha!! when she tried to kiss him, kai was out!
she was relentless. she kept trying and kai was laughing pretty hard.
a big tradition at our high school is the promenade. it's been happening for fifty years and sadie has watched it every year since we moved here.
the juniors go for weeks before school, and learn a choreographed dance. the evening of prom, the community comes to the high school gym and watches as each couple is introduced then do their dance. sadie was sooooooo excited about the promenade!!
after, they turn the lights down and have the dads and moms dance with their students.
i think dave was secretly dying, realizing that his little sadie is all grown up and lovely.
some family came to watch and it made the night even more meaningful for her.

my two princesses in their gowns.
cute that abe wanted in the action.
vivian's excitement being at "the ball" was darling.
look at her face!
sadie and some of her friends.
i happily took this picture of sadie and her dear friend amber, and was even happier when they were hugging so tight that they both slipped on the their high heels and completely tumbled to the ground.
perfect happy ending!
(besides the very end, when dave accidentally caught her date kissing her on our porch....haha!
that was embarrassingly even better;)
