After some intense preparations...homecoming was this weekend.
For us Mormon gals, finding a modest homecoming dress is so, so difficult. As in finding a needle in a haystack difficult. As in trying to control the fashion industry WITH OUR MIND. It's incredibly frustrating to say the least. And for those of us who are shopping challenged? Ugh. With a capital UGH.
This year Jordan and her pals scouted the surrounding malls. She reported exceedingly slim pickings, and we began making peace with the fact that the girls might wear their dresses from last year.
But in a last minute rally, we found dresses on Shabby Apple. Phew.
Jordan et al:
And Madison (with extremely straight hair!):
Jordan's group started with pictures at 3:00. We ushered the last teenager out of our house around 1:09 AM. I cried when my alarm went off for church this morning.
THE END (more details to come).
Very beautiful girls, our girls being the most beautiful of course. Very handsome boys, our boys being the most handsome of course. Great pictures Sarah.

I love their modest dresses! And I love that y'all work so hard to find them. I hate prom season when the dresses (of Mormon girls) pop up on Facebook and they are incredibly immodest. I know it's hard, but it's so worth the hunt. I remember spending hours and hours searching the malls only to end up having to wear a coverup to make the dress modest enough. They both look beautiful!
