So, Thing Two had her grade 8 graduation last Thursday night. Grade 8 grad was NOT like this when I was there. Oh well. They got dressed up, and had a dance afterward. And they all looked like 21 year olds!



She had her hair and makeup done at the salon where my sister works.



They all walked in (all 107 of them) and through an arbour. It was nice.



There was time for pics afterwards. And she totally worked the attitude for them.







Finally, her TWO dates showed up (her best friends) for the dance and a group of giggling 14 year old girls descended upon them.




Yep, that's my baby. All growed up.

Fancy pants! Log into FB to see my girl's photos (or check out my Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/94252573@N00/

OMG, so cute. We saw that dress and I loved it. Thing Two? Not so much with the loving of that dress on her. I had to agree.

BTW, Facebook is evil and will steal your life. Trufax.

It just "worked" for Eldest -- I was pleased because a lot of the other dresses were much, much, MUCH more expensive for something she insists she can't wear too often because it's so special. *headdesk*

FB is scary, yeah. But I have to maintain a presence there. And I'm on Twitter, too.

She looks gorgeous! (Also, man, does she ever look like you. *vbg*) I hope she had a great time. :)

It's funny, sometimes she looks like me, other times I think she totally looks like her dad. Go figure.

And she had fun. Once her friends got there. Notice the smile in that pic and not in the others? Ah, my child, she is consistent.

Sweet jesus, twitter too? You have my deepest sympathies. *bg*
