December 23 - Masquerade Ball

Winter formal was last night at the Tremont House, a beautiful hotel in Galveston. The theme was 'Masquerade Ball' although I didn't see anyone with masks LOL (I chaperoned half the dance). This is a Sadie Hawkins dance and Julia asked her middle school friend, Eddie, who attends another high school, to go with her. They went with a group of 10 and besides homecoming, this was everyone's first 'big' dance. 

Having a fancy dance so close to Christmas was a little crazy. Julia's hair appointment was at 2pm and while the woman who did her hair was fast, it took us 30min to get out of the parking lot. The shopping plaza was packed. I dropped her off at home to get ready and then went and picked up her date, who lives about 30min away. We then drove to a park in Nassau Bay for meet everyone for pictures at 4.15pm. After pictures, the kids all traveled via limo to dinner in Galveston, to the dance and back to one of the girl's houses for an after party (they ate, bounced on the trampoline and watched a movie). What a night! 

Blessed by the hair gods
