Prom ~ 2017



































As usual, the pictures did not upload in order. Hannah and a group of friends went to a homeschool prom sponsored by her theatre company so there were quite a few thespians at the prom but it is open to all junior & senior homeschooled students across the state-as long as they register before it's sold out. It did sell out. Since the prom is held on a Friday, it makes it a tad difficult to get ready when you have a 3 1/2 hour rehearsal the same afternoon. So some of the pictures I took during the 45 minutes her director allowed them to take off early to get all extra prettied up (because these girls are beautiful without the hair & makeup done & dresses). Some pics are at the resort as there is a parent reception for the first hour. Some are from the actual night after non-chaperone parents left that I downloaded off her friends' Facebook pages. To be fair, they stole some from me too:) 

So Friday morning I curled her hair which held up pretty well after the rehearsal. Her director must have not done a lot of choreography! I had been practicing doing eye shadow (not my forte) from watching videos but thankfully, one of Hannah's friends had her more experienced sister there to help with her makeup & the sister had time do Hannah's so it actually looked good as compared to what I would have done. I touched up a few curls & a few parents took some pics before the kids vanpooled in two vans to the resort. I followed. There's a pic below of Hannah in her van. 
We took some more pics of the group at the resort & then more when some more kids who got ready elsewhere joined up so while some pics look the same, there are a few extra kids in them. 
Hannah had a blast & was even able to find some food on the fancy buffet that were tasty including oreo cheesecake. 
After the prom was over (parents reception was 5:30-6:30) at 11:45, they vanpooled back to our side of town where another mom picked her and a few friends up & ended the fun night with a sleepover. I picked her up on Saturday to hear all about the great night she had with her amazing group of friends. Even though you could bring a date in the traditional meaning of "date", most kids just went solo but as a group. In order to get two of her good friends who are sophomores in, Hannah & another junior invited them as their "dates" so that they could be a part of the fun.She's already looking forward to next year.

TBQ~State



 The picture above is of 4 of the top 5 quizzers for individual points at State & the picture below is the top 4 of 5 over the regular season. One of God's Girlz should have been in the pics but she had to leave right away. Hannah was 2nd place in each instance.

 2/3 of God's Girlz with their 2nd place plaques for regular season and 2nd at State.


Last weekend was the final meet of the season (State) for God's Girlz as we're not going to Regionals this year. Hannah's play, Hello Dolly, is the same weekend. 

Hannah went to prom tonight, er, yesterday so I have a lot of those pictures coming up. I'll actually give you 3 preview pics below! That's about all the excitement we'll have till Hello Dolly.
