First Dance

Kaeleigh loved this dress...but not the price.
AbbySue all dolled up at Claire's....we ended up with the scarf.

Last Saturday my beautiful niece, Kaeleigh, Auntie Angel, AbbySue, and I took a trip up to Washington Square. Kaeleigh invited us to go shopping. We were on a mission....to find the perfect dress for her first dance. Yes, a dance...at McNary High School! She is a freshman and it's Snowball time. This is the dance when the girl invites the boy. She asked Grant Eckelman. Yep, our fire juggling, roof jumping, camping buddy...who is now a sophomore! The whole thing is just mind boggoling. How did these kids get this big? Well, it turned out to be a perfect day together. Kaeleigh found her dress (very Taylor Swift she says), and very ladylike. Her goal was to spend $25 on a dress so she could save the rest to get a new pair of TOMS shoes to match...and darned if that girl did it. I have to say that our AbbySue was soaking it all in. I'm so thankful we arrived back home just in time for the first dance!
