Ebony Ball

If I have to buy one more "formal" dress or another pair of "sky-high" fancy shoes,  I think I'm going to scream!

This past weekend was the Ebony Ball.  This event celebrates the African-American students at ETHS.  It's not a "who do you know on the Board" kind of dance...if you're ebony, you're invited! If you know someone or are dating someone who is not ebony, you can let them in on the fun and invite them (this dance is a WHOLE LOT more diverse than the Cotillion).  This event is for Juniors and Seniors and happens every-other year, so everyone gets 1 chance to go.

There's a dress code...black or white dresses, at or below the knee.  This made shopping a whole lot easier for us; no fights this time!  We did break the rules with the dress length, but if you know me, you know I love to break a rule or two.  No shoe restrictions, so Gabby went for it:)

The last 2 formals that Gabby has attended, were "girls ask the guys", so she was a little tired of doing all the asking and took a friend along with her for some girly fun.

  

Gabby and Lucy! 

      

According to the cryptic teenager report that I got, it was a great night; fun was had by all!  The best part for me?  I didn't have to do any pick-up and delivery for the night (thanks Meg).  oh yeah, it was also great to see my big girl all dressed up, smiling, full of life and in my opinion...looking gorgeous!

Whew...I think I'm done dress shopping for a while!

Hey Gabby, can I borrow this dress?  I can definitely wear the shoes:)
