my head is in the cupcakes?
don't ask.
i have no idea where this girl came from.
just maybe that i love cupcakes and girls.
...okay, that doesn't sound quite right.
anyhoos!
what's happening on the home front???
my 16 yr. old went to PROM!
AND has her first boyfriend!!!!
scary stuff as a parent.
but... she is a girl, and human, and wants a boyfriend.
really? really, i ask.
is it necessary?
we were really hoping that she'd be an anomaly-
and not date till she was married!! (like we've been subtly suggesting! hehe!)
in case you don't have kids, or kids this age yet...
we are like the last hold outs in not letting her date till 16.
*thankfully he is a very nice guy and even texted me to ask our permission :)

You aren't the last.....we are thinking MAYBE when our girls are in 11th grade but hopefully they will be too busy to have time to! Glad I am not at that stage yet!! We can only hope we raise our kids in such a way that they make good choices!! Your daughter looks very pretty and happy and that boy better treat her right!!!!

OMG...L is stunning!!! The photographer captured the essence of what a prom is all about. Youth full excitement and of course THE DRESS!!!! As they said last week in GLEE, "The most important day of a girls life is PROM! You can always get married again, but there is only one Prom".

Maybe you need more sweetness, sugar? :-)
Alexis is such a beautiful young woman, you should so very proud of her!

I'm glad they had such a good time!! And... you are an amazing mom Michelle... you and Gary are great parents and we're proud of you too!!

You are a smart mama. We didn't let our kids date until they were 16 either. The last 6 months was the hardest - but my youngest just turned 16. She made it . . . and so did we. LOL.

We held out too! Our daughter was the only one with that rule but she survived!
