Winter Formals

The day has arrived...Gabi's winter formals dance for her high school.  She has been waiting for this for so long and the time has come.
Saturday was full - ICE practice 9-12am and off to get hair done at 1pm.  We didn't get back from there until close to 3pm and Gabi got dressed, put on makeup and off we went.  Gabi was invited to a catered dinner (her fave- Chipotle) with about 22 of her good friends, hosted by Kylee Singleton (fellow JV cheerleader).  Kylee's parents did an awesome job!  They rented out the community building at Autumn Lake Apartments so there was plenty of room and great pic opportunities.  We brought some cake pops and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.  Unfortunately, for Gabi, Alex had to wrestle in Hobart and wouldn't arrive until close to 7pm that evening.  But, it was worth the wait for her...Alex looked great and was actually a great sport when it came to picture taking.  I forewarn you...lots of pics ahead...
