Prom Recap!

PROM 2014

Alexa had her last prom on Saturday evening and it was Gatsby themed.  According to all the stories I heard a good time was had by all.  They went for Japanese before the dance and afterwards she went to a girlfriend's house along with 10 other girls for a sleepover.  Sunday she was part zombie hahahaha!  

Definitely bittersweet to know that we won't have any more GIRLY homecomings or proms in our house unless my son lets me dress him up for fun....and that ain't happening LOL!  Hoping he decides to go to prom next year for his junior year...we shall see.

So thought I'd share my pictures with you in case you missed them on Facebook...so 

beware...

lots of pictures below!

Alexa looked stunning in this beautiful indigo colored dress.  It fit her perfectly with no tailoring and the color just lit her face up beautifully.  Course I'm a biased momma ;)

The back of the dress was just as fabulous as the front....looked good coming & going!

My hairstylist did a great job with Alexa's hair to match the photo Alexa brought in!  It was so intricately done that it took Alexa forever to get it undone after the dance, LOL....that means it was dance & jump proof!

And yep the hubs was a little teary eyed seeing Alexa all dolled up for prom!

My mom was able to come up for the weekend for Alexa's last prom.  She's come up for all the High School dances so it was kind of sad to think was the last one...sniff sniff.

Alexa and I....I'm not one for being in front of the camera like she is LOL! 

I prefer to be the picture--TAKER!

Alexa and Grace have been best buds since 5th grade.  Hard to believe these gals will be off to college in a couple of months.  So proud of them both...beautiful INSIDE & outside.

Alexa and her date Luke...they looked so cute together...although they are just "friends" as my daughter likes to repeat!  She had a bit of trouble with that boutonniere so mom had to help out ;)

Alexa with the group of friends that all went to dinner together.  This group was much more manageable than last year's 40 kids...ay yi yi.  Love seeing the girls in all their pretty colored dresses and smiling!

And this is how prom girl rocked it on Sunday....can you say zombied out hahahaha!

Just keepin' it REAL!

Next big event for us....GRADUATION and Grad Party!!

Prom Weekend---Yikes!

Its Prom Weekend here at the Dean household!  

This is Alexa's last high school dance (sniff sniff) so I'm sure I will be teary eyed and rocking the sunglasses ALL weekend.  I will of course share pics on Facebook & Instagram if you follow me there (if not & you want to, click links on sidebar)....and then will post more pics on my blog on Monday!  She has a GORGEOUS dress and can't wait to see her all put together.  

Today the gals have their nails done & tomorrow are hair appts...my job is to run around taking pictures, zip dresses, find bobby pins and help with any last minute crisis situations that arrive with teen girls getting ready ;)

My mom is up for the weekend to see the gals get ready and have their pictures taken with the group.  Alexa has a date...Luke is a good (cute too..her words haha) friend of her's so I'm sure he will take good care of her and they will have a blast.  I remember my Senior Prom like it was yesterday...which it was not...not even close LOL.  We had ours on a dinner cruise ship that sailed down from Baltimore....we had dinner and dancing on the Chesapeake while the sun set.  It was beautiful and and a memory I will always have....good times.  And that's what I told Alexa, enjoy every moment of this senior year because you can't go back, leave no regrets on the table and have lots of fun with friends.
