Jr. Prom/ daughters are so fun

This photo shows off Morgan's sweet makeup applying skills. Click on the photo to see the up close effect.

The rhinestone jewelry has made the rounds through the years.  I bought it in Prague back in '93 and have worn it many times on cruises and Madison has worn it to dances as well.

Morgan was ready about a half hour early, so it was fun just goofing around with the camera.

When Madison was in China, we sent her Morgan's measurements and she took them to a tailor and had this dress made for her.  We saw a picture online of a pretty dress that we liked a lot.  It was sleeveless and shorter, so we had her put some sleeves on it ('cause I like my girls covered up) and lengthen it so it could be more formal.  I love how it turned out.

Brinley loves her big sisters so much and enjoys watching them get ready for their fun dates.

I love the lily in his boutonniere.  Morgan always orders unique flowers for the dances.

I liked Parker's tux.  He looked very classy and perfectly matched with Morgan :)



Parker asked Morgan to the dance in such a cute way.  He came to the house with his brother, sister and a friend and they decorated Morgans room with metallic eggs, tinsel, Christmas lights and Starburst candy.  There was a lighted poster with the statement, "You would light up my life if you went the the Prom with me."  then on the bottom of the poster it said, "you may even get extra credit"  Since Parker's dad is her math teacher, that was appropriate.  But it didn't say who it was from, so she had to open all the Easter eggs that were scattered and hidden throughout her room to find the clues that would tell who it was.  I thought the hint about the extra credit was a dead give away.  She answered him with a big yes and told him he could give the extra credit to her brother, who happens to be in the same math class as her :)

That dress turned out so pretty! I can't believe how well it fit her and now nicely it matched Parker's tux. Morgan looks GORGEOUS! I love the photo of her in front of the piano. Her makeup looks was awesome, the eyes in particular were so pretty. What a lovely daughter.
