When Night Falls - Highland High School Prom 2011

On Saturday April 16th, Laura got to attend her first Prom. She had a really great time, from the day date, to pictures, to dinner, and the dance. Her date was Damien Larson.

When I went to upload the pictures from my camera, I was surprised to see this interesting picture! For the day date, they created a slip and slide kick ball field and used these innertubes as the bases. They put Jello on the home plate, and you had to slide into home or you didn't get the point. They also had a water balloon fight, and went swimming at the McClary's home afterward. They all in Laura's words, "had so much fun!"

The Corsage

*Funny Story - Because Laura's date came from out of town he stayed at her friend Davis Heap's house after the day date. His mom had made sure he put the corsage in his suitcase, Davis' mom called me and in our conversation she asked if he had a corsage, and I told her that his mom had said he did. So, she had him get the corsage and put it in the refrigerator. We laughed so hard when we were looking at the pictures and realized her corsage was made out of silk flowers. Damien must have thought we were crazy having him put that in the fridge!

Boutonierre

Laura made this. A sister in our ward had her friend come and teach the girls how to make them on Friday evening. It really kept the cost down and they learned a new skill. I think she did a great job. The Group getting ready for pictures

I like this pose it reminds me of an advertisement in a magazine

Everyone's shoes, Bryce had the cheetah print shoes and Laura's are the silver wedges, everyone kept calling them the Lady Gaga shoes

Picture perfect

Girls and Shoes

Boys and Guns!

This is a before picture of the table. Dinner was served at the Heap's home. They floated candles in the pool. The menu consisted of Chicken Cordon Bleu, Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans, Salad and Sherbet for dessert. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, then it was off to the Prom. After the group went to the McClary's to watch a movie. Laura said everyone had such a good time and it was a very memorable evening.

*One side note - watch your IPhone around water, it was just a second and mine took and dive into the pool, it's still sitting in the RiceCU and I'm hoping it will recover quickly!
