Adrianna, Breanna, Brenna, and Stella
Sierra and Drew - future suitemates and current besties. They ditched the "boyfs" (current teen slang for boyfriends) to go to the dance with the girls - however they're meeting the men for appetizers after the dance. (Or, maybe in the middle of it depending on how much they miss them.)
They get along so well. It makes my heart happy.
When everyone started getting into their dresses and heels, Mataya came galloping into the kitchen as said, "Mom, you are going to need your camera!"
Her next request was to change into her "princess dress" so she could be beautiful like her sisters.
Moments like these, mixed into crazy and noisy and giggles and nerves and snapchats and lipstick and hair touch-ups, fill me up.
It is so very special that these three are so close this year. Brenna and Adrianna are nearly inseparable. I LOVE IT!
Yep - she headed to the dance with a date.
Thankfully, he is a super nice guy. But still. . . it is hard to believe can she be so old and beautiful and poised? She is though. And although it makes me nostalgic, it also makes me proud and thankful. She is a delight, our Brenna-girl. Such a treasure.
You know your officially accepted when Sierra wants to snap with you.
I told my "boyf" that we should perhaps host a winter formal for adults. All these smiling teenagers make dressing pretty and heading to a dance look pretty fun. I miss those days! Want to join us?
