Walking the Red Carpet

The end of the school year always brings out the crazy.  Or at least I feel crazy as I run around like a chicken with my head cut off.  The girls had their Awana Awards night this past Sunday and we had a theme.  A very cute theme, which I hope we can grow in coming years, Walk the Red Carpet.  The thought was to make it a very special night, since the kids had accomplished so much this year.  I had thought we might put on our Sunday best, but the Curly Haired Diva had other things in mind.  Apparently when they said wear your finest, she was blind to the fact that she had grown "slightly" since she wore this dress two summers ago.  Not only was it a little too short, pretty sure she got her first taste of what happens when you have to suck it in to zip it up.  Not so comfortable after two or three hours.



Wayne suggested I put Ellison in her matching dress.  Umm, she was 1 and she has grown more than slightly since that summer.  Here's your sign..  We opted for sequins and she wore them so well.  I see this picture below and she looks like she is 13 with the make up and hip stuck out.  Oh me.


Of course we had to rock the duck face, it's a given.


Duck face with Sis and our friends.  Crazy eyes!!!  I love how serious Libby is with her peace sign.


They were suppose to sing and she tried to a couple of times, until she heard how loud her voice was in the microphone and that kind of freaked her out and she shut up.  Hmmm might need to invest in a real microphone for home.  Wonder how long that trick would work?  Probably .2 seconds.


Okay so the hat has come off.....


we are seriously bored and the attention is not on us....


what is she looking at?  where did the hat go?  Yeah she threw it grinned her dimple grin and me and then looked at it on the floor.


we are so mad because we have to sit next to the hat and she got scolded.  Pitiful.


Hads last year as a Spark.


Checking out her awards with Gracie Mae.
