Abigail doesn’t have a lot of boys in our area, her age that are members of the church, but there is a big group a grade younger. Now that a lot of those boys are doing running start those two age groups have meshed together and have gotten to be good friends this year. The boys decided to ask the girls to Homecoming. There was some back and forth about whether they would all go as a group or as dates – in the end they went as dates. Abigail’s friend Chase asked her to be his date. He lives in our neighborhood and they go on lots of walks late at night so Abigail can close her activity circles on her apple watch – “just friends”. Abigail ordered a few dresses online; however, they got lost in the mail and someone ended up bringing them to our house over a month later when they found the package in their backyard. She ended up wearing the homecoming dress she wore as a freshman which worked perfectly.
Kalli’s mom took this picture of Abigail and Kalli heading to pictures with their dates.
Of course there’s always lots and lots of photos taken before the date even gets going.
After pictures, Abigail was part of a small group that went to dinner at a nice Italian restaurant while the rest when to a nice burger restaurant then they all met up at a trampoline place and then hung out at someone’s house. Actually going to the homecoming dance wasn’t on the agenda – so funny. It sounds like they all had a great time and I love that Abigail has such a fun group of friends.
Another group of girls showed up to the same place we were taking pictures at and the difference was astounding. Abigail and her friends looked so much more confident and happy than the other girls that were dressed in revealing clothing. Grateful for our community of like-minded families!
