The girls had fun getting beautified for prom, and I just couldn't take too many pictures!
Annah has such a super narrow foot, it is always tricky to find shoes for her. We ended up finding these at Payless for $5 after searching every other store we could think of for formal pumps!
Sylvia's shoes we grabbed off the display table in the dressing room at Von Maur while she was trying on gowns that were all too long for her. When she decided they were just what she wanted I ran over to the shoe department and found them on sale for 50% off!
Nails and bracelets
Since it was so cool, they were glad to wear the shawls I made them.
Caeden was reluctant to take pictures with his beautiful sisters when he hadn't even combed his hair today, but was finally persuaded--okay, forced.
I got pretty choked up when he did this.
He loves his big sisters so much.
But he did not want their lipstick on him!
Definitely a thorn between 2 roses.
Annah's shawl I made her for her freshman homecoming, but all her homecomings have been in warm weather and this was the first she's worn it.
Sylvia's I made Thursday and yesterday after I saw what the forecast was for tonight.
Snuggling up to get warm in the breeze
Sylvia chose rose gold jewelry and nails to go with her black gown.
Annah chose silver glittery jewelry and nails. We have several differing opinions as to whether her gown was rosy red or hot pink.
Trying to be as awkward as possible...
I love that they are so goofy!
At 3:00, Joyce and Ryan arrived.
Flowers!
Annah tried to put Ryan's boutonniere on without poking him or making a big hole in his new suit.
Joyce got it done right. Thanks, Mom!
About this time, Sylvia's date RJ, let Ryan know his baseball game was still going on and he wasn't going to make it for pictures!
Sylvia, 3rd-wheelin'!
Joyce wanted pictures of the girls' hair to send to Allison.
Ryan was a gentleman and opened card doors for both of the girls.
We met the kids' group of friends on the quad at ISU for photos of everyone together.
Ryan's oldest sister Ashley is majoring in art education at ISU and was helping with a band festival, so she met us outside the Center for Performing Arts for a few minutes and pictures!
Joyce and Ryan
Daddy and his girls
And they are Daddy's girls.
Ryan, trying to help everyone else find us...
We decided Annah's dress was as big as 3 people!
Taylor and Annah
Lauren and Adam found us on the quad. Lauren's softball double header went into the afternoon!
Turn the other way so we can see your corsages!
While getting everyone situated, Ryan said, "Hey Sylvia, go like this!" So she did.
A great bunch of kids
It really was a beautiful day, though the shadows and sun were tricky inside the gazebo.
And the breeze was strong, but made them all look even more glamourous.
Lauren and Annah
Lauren's family moved last summer, and we are always glad when she can come back and attend Ridgeview events!
The group headed off to make their dinner reservation at
Medici at 5:00, so they could get to the prom in Lexington by 7:00.
RJ, James, and Hunter did meet the group for dinner, and rode out to the prom with Ryan and Annah and Sylvia. Sylvia and RJ were able to get one picture together at the prom. Pretty sharp!
They all said the prom was fun, and they danced the whole time!
