Grand March


 After dinner at our house, the kids headed to the high school for the official fun to begin at prom.  Around these parts, they have something called the Grand March when friends and family find a good seat in the bleachers and watch as each couple is introduced and walk across the stage and come across the gym.  The lights are dimmed and the space is beautifully decorated.  It's fun to see all the beautifully dressed couples.


The theme this year was "A Night in Paris."  This beautiful Eiffel tower was made entirely of cardboard.  The seniors do all the planning and decorating (with some staff guidance).  They bought this thing for way too much money, but it sure was pretty!


After the Grand March, all the fathers are invited out onto the dance floor to dance with their little girls.  Isn't that just the sweetest thing?  


Not wanting to be left out, Morgan did a little dancing, too, before we left the high schoolers to have their fun.  This boy is quite the dancer.  Can't wait until it's his turn to take a girl to prom.  Not really.  I can totally wait.  But it will happen whether I'm ready or not!

A year since the last prom went by so quickly ... such a sweet thought for the Dads to dance with their daughters. Doesn't seem all that long ago when you and Glenn were dancing at your wedding! I know I sound lame for saying this ... but where does the time go?

Anonymous: I was thinking the same thing. Can NOT believe it has been almost 20 years when Loretta and Glenn danced at their wedding! It was such a memory-filled day!!! They time is sure going by faster each year it seems!!
The Grand March was amazing!! All schools should do that! It made everyone feel so special and sure made many, many more memories to hang on too! Thanks Cottonwood High School!!!
Love and hugs to all, Grandma, Mom, Rose Ann
