I downloaded a few photos tonight and realized that today....the 25th....is the first day that I have taken any photos in February. That has to be a first in many, many years. It has been cold and I have not been in much of a mood to go out and take pictures because of it. Today though...is a BIG day. (These pictures were taken in such horrible light, I wish that pretty hair could stay until tomorrow. Plus I was lucky to get 5 seconds of her standing still before she was ready to go!)

Snowball dance! Megan has been talking about this since last year, when we moved here and she was still new to the school. We didn't really know about it and she didn't go. So a year later, this is all she could talk about since the date was set.

A good friend of mine from Kohl's is also going to cosmetology school. She is one of the sweetest girls ever. I asked her if she'd mind doing megan's hair for the dance since I am so hair challenged. Let's face it, if I were to do her hair, it would be in a ponytail, or ironed flat. Jessica made her look like a princess. She brought a bag full of all sorts of professional goodies to our house.

Pretty much the second she was done getting dressed, she was so excited to be dropped off at the dance. I think she was one of the first few there. She's meeting a group of her friends and then afterwards is going to a restaurant in town with a few of them and parents. (I don't know if I was invited....lol....I figured I'd let her have her night.)

It seems like so long ago since we were shopping for this dress. It was actually when my mom was here visiting. Megan was so excited, and has had it hanging on the back of her door since then. Every now and then she'd try it on, or she'd just stare at it. I think she looks beautiful. :)

The dance is appropriately named, since this morning we had more snow. Ugh. Last week was beautiful and in the 60s. Sunny and perfect outdoor weather. I had all these great plans to go for walks and start running again as soon as Mike got home. This week we have returned to cold temps, rain and snow. Luckily, I had bought a pretty jacket/shrug thingie that she can wear over this dress so she doesn't freeze.
