Tonight's Dream, Tomorrow's Memory - Prom 2011

If you haven't sent someone to prom lately...it is expensive! We needed money for the tickets ($100) so Crystal marched outside and painted this on "Old Christines" windows and the car was sold in less than 1 hour.
We didn't even have to move Christine to a main street, she sold just sitting in front of the house. What a blessing! The man that bought her said he couldn't resist and was happy to help send Ralee to prom.
At the hair salon
Sister in-law "Charlee" did her make-up. I love seeing my mothers wedding ring on Charlee's finger...I know it makes my mom happy.
Cracks me up how RaLee sits on the counter-tops
Prom Jewelry
Brother In-Law, Spencer, Put on her ring and bracelet then gave her a very sweet hug
Meanwhile RaLee and Taylor's dates were entertaining themselves with their cell phones while the girls finished getting ready up-stairs.
Tickets! Thanks "Christine"
All Ready
Exchanging flowers
Beautiful wrist corsage attached to 3 keepsake bracelets...so beautiful.
They are wearing Vans- for two reasons- she didn't want to be taller than Hunter and she wants to DANCE!

RaLee and her big brother Royal...I'm so thankful she has Royal for a brother...

I think she looked absolutely beautiful!  Her dress was the only one like it shipped to Arizona, they registered her gown to make sure her dress was not duplicated and worn to the same prom by another girl.  It's color is a vibrant Carribean Blue.  As she tried her gown on last night, her eyes filled up with tears, and she thanked everybody for working so hard to make her night perfect.  She said, "I feel like a Princess."
I want to thank Amanda & John, and Crystal & Spencer for making her night perfect.  What a comfort and blessing it has been to have her older brother, Royal, and her Brother in-law, Spencer, step up to the plate and fill her father's shoes. 
She made it home safely from the prom and said, "She had the best night ever!"

Well, it looks like they were all set for a wonderful night. I am so glad that she has all of you there for her.

Isn't it great that they have a fun group to go together? I would have loved that!

Glad she had the best night ever!!

Ralee was absolutely beautiful! What a blessing for her to have such a loving family supporting her.

You are very talented in the role of a photographer! My son is going to be going to prom on Friday and you have given me great ideas for pictures.

Take Care,
Cheryl

I love the color of the dress!

Boy am I glad to be too old for all the stress of prom and high school. Does that make me super bad? I get tired just thinking about all the work it was to be in high school.

Glad she had such a fun night.

Your daughter does look like a princess! So beautiful! The dress is amazing! I have never seen a corsage that has a keepsake bracelet. How neat! And what a great person to buy the car to help with the costs. What a fairytale story! So glad to hear she had fun and made it home safely.

Absoutely gorgeous (the gown and Raylee). My almost 5 year old grandson would have loved her dress the most (because blue is his favorite color)...lol
