I'm officially almost the parent of a high schooler.
Almost. No need to rush things!
Though Ebby doesn't get out of school for summer break until this Friday, last Friday the 8th Graders had 'Class Night'. Held at the middle school, it was a night to celebrate with friends, food, photos, a DJ & dancing and no pesky parent chaperones (not to worry, there were plenty of staff chaperones). Of course that means that pre-Class Night, us parents were out in full force--with cameras.
First we took a few pictures at home with just Ebby.
That Green Cord is not a drapery tieback, it's something the school awards to students who achieve First Honors for all 3 trimesters, all 3 years of middle school. My eyes may have welled up a bit when I was up on stage with her on Friday afternoon at the 8th Grade Awards Ceremony... So proud.
Ebby got her dress back in early March at Charlotte Russe, sans drama and sans high price tag.
She wore her add-a-pearl necklace that Bubbe is stringing for her each year on her birthday.
Black nails for a little bit of an edge.
And this one just because I really like it :-).
Then it was time to head over to Ebby's friend Katherine's house for group photos.
Practicing for prom photos...
Black and white was a popular choice for dresses.
One of the moms suggested the jumping pose, always fun.
Finally, the whole group was assembled. 9 kids meant 9 cameras. And to think Ebby was worried about me wanting to take too many pictures.
A great group and a great night!
Congratulations Ebby, xoxo
