Spring Formal

It's "Mormal" time again!

 (i.e. mormon formal)

Abbie went with a group of friends & had a great time!

Abbie's date, Jared, with all the girls :-)

Do you notice a theme?

After the pre-dance photo shoot, 

the kids headed over to a dinner hosted by 

some (very creative) parents

Abbie opted to travel with her date

in his (dad's) sweet ride :-)

Dave, Mike, Porter & I traveled alone (together) to do some more photography!

Porter showed up in quite a good mood!?!

The theme of the dance this year was:

"An Evening at Sea"

(and the family who offered to host a pre-dance dinner

really out-did themselves)

The couples were welcomed 

by well-wishers (parents & friends) 

showering them with confetti.

I may be biased, but ... that's a couple of cute kids, doncha think?

The home was completely transformed into an old fashioned cruise liner

 (think titanic, without the iceberg :-)

There were even life-sized red smokestacks on the roof -
sure wish I'd taken a picture of that - quite amazing!

Abbie's group opted for a table in the backyard.

Porter had a hard time saying goodbye,

but it was time for the big kids to start their 

Evening at Sea!

Since I had to head straight to the airport at this point in the evening...

(Australia, here I come!)

there are no pictures of the actual dance, held at Soka University . . .

but I am told it was lots of fun!

Can my baby girl really be so grown up?? Time is flying...
