Zach and Torie looked terrific all dressed up and enjoyed dinner out, fun at a nearby games/bowling/laser tag place, and time back at our house.
Unlike when Steve and I grew up, not many of the kids go to the dance at the school. They say it's not very fun at all. Too bad, ours was a blast!
Bottom left corner is when Zach asked Torie to Homecoming. He had tealight candles in the letters H and C and a question mark, and gave her flowers. It's becoming tradition here to come up with a special way of asking a girl to Homecoming and Prom. Also tradition here are the mums shown in the upper right corner below. These are made from ribbons and special trinkets and the boy makes one for the girl and vice versa. We hadn't done this before so it was a first for us! Torie didn't want hers really big... some girls have them with ribbons all the way down to the floor and wider than their body! Girls hang theirs around their necks and boys have a garter they wear on their arm. They wear them on the Friday of the Homecoming football game.
Alli braided her hair, pulled it to the side and curled the ends. Looked so pretty!
Alli and her closest friends!
