Prom 2008

Prom was a blast this year! Amy invited her friend Jeff, from Winnipeg, to be her date, so it added a lot to the fun to have him as a houseguest for the weekend. Prom is actually an all day affair (for the girls, at least!), starting with hair appts., getting dressed, taking photos, going out to eat and finishing with the grand march, the prom, and the after prom party.



Going in to the courthouse to take pictures before prom. We had planned to be outside, but it was so cold, that we were very grateful we had "connections" to let us inside the courthouse on a Saturday!

The whole group--front to back: Nicole & Calvin, Jill & Zack, Sarah & Cole, Amy & Jeff, Kenzie & Tanner, Whitney & Reston










In the juror's chairs!





Just Jeff & Amy


Judge Jeff








Even a rented limo!


















Going to Devils Lake for supper in the limo

They had a caricature artist draw pictures of the kids at the After Prom party. We thought Jeff & Amy's turned out awesome!

Birch Tree

A couple of mornings ago, we had a freezing rain which coated the trees in ice. After the sun came out, it looked as though they were adorned with hundreds of sparkling jewels. The temptation was too great, so I laid aside what I was doing and picked up my camera! I didn't have to go far--this tree is in our back yard.
