It was too dark to get any good pictures before we left for the ball, and we planned on getting pictures professionally done there. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get any taken, so this picture is the best that we have due to the poor lighting and using a phone camera. Oh well, Munchkin still looks beautiful, and D looks quite handsome in his dress blues.
Munchkin and I had a lot of fun deciding on the little details (like her nails) for the Ball. While this was her second ball, it has been many years since we’ve been to a ball, so it was like a first ball for her. She thoroughly enjoyed the hunt for the dress and accessories as well as deciding on the nails and hairstyle. It’s always fun to dress up.
Eventually, Munchkin decided that she wanted to go with a retro inspired hairstyle. I made the bow in the hair to match her dress. She looked beautiful. She even had on a little make-up for the first time. She’s certainly growing up.
We all had a good time at the ball. Because D’s with a small unit right now, it was a smaller, family-friendly ball which was really cool.
