Homecoming 2012

 

Sept. 29, 2012 was the homecoming dance.  It was a crazy day, Kenna started out with a day date at 10am.  The group went into the hills and played paint ball.  The boys even thought to purchase chest protectors for the girls and Kenna said they purchased 4000 paint balls!  She had a hair appointment at 3:30 but didn't get home from her day date until 3:20 - thus started the craziness!  She had paint in her hair and had to take a shower and wash it first so we were about 15 minutes late to her appointment. She said they didn't have cell service in the hills and no one knew what time it was. Then we got home and she decided to call a friend to do her make-up, she headed over to her house at 5:45 and Lerin was picking her up at 6:30.  She didn't get home until 6:20 - we had to quickly put her dress on and jewelry.  With all this chaos, I didn't get any 'prepping' photos especially since none of it was here at the house!

Here she is FINALLY ready!

 

Two of her best friends stopped by to see her before she left - Kaylee and Hayley

Chris meeting Lerin for the first time.  I'm not sure why he hadn't met him before the dance because he's been over several times.

Her corsage - it was gorgeous!!

I just thought this one was cute!

A few more before they leave

Photo bombed!!! This was so funny!

Kenna's friend Sara was in her group and her date was waiting in the car - I called him out for a photo and surprise, he matched Kenna's dress too!

This is Lerin, Kenna, Sara and Rayce

They went to Lerin's house for dinner -

Lerin's dad took about 200 photos Kenna said - I only got 3 of them.  This one I think Kenna said, "is the most legit homecoming photo ever!"

"She thinks my tractors sexy," is what I thought when I saw this!

One of Kenna with us!

They had a great time at the dance and Kenna looked stunning!  This dress she picked out just screamed her name and fit her personality like a glove!  We saw it online and she loved it! When we went dress shopping, we went to Circle of Love in Rexburg because they always have modest dresses.  Anyway, as we walked up to the front of the store, there was the dress from the internet in their window - is that fate or what?  We had to get it taken in quite a bit to fit her and they actually hemmed it too short and she had to wear flat sandals. If you know Kenna, she loves heals and the higher the better but it worked out and I'm sure flats were much more comfortable to dance in. All in all, I'd say her first big dance was a success.  Next up..... Sadie Hawkins and she's already asked her date!
