Prom 2012

Spring means prom in our world. Tanner had two options this year. The school had a masquerade themed prom and then the church is doing a "mormon" prom called "The Event" in a few weeks.  Natalie is a senior this year and she REALLY wanted to go to her Sr. prom.  She really wanted Tanner to ask her...he did.

We got a bunny after Easter on clearance.  We puff painted Tanner on it's paws so she'd know who it was from. 

I had some vinyl and a cricut, so Tanner cut out and attached the words to a poster board.  We made a carrot with a frosting decorating bag and orange jelly beans and green ribbon.

Garry cut a heart out of the top and we stuck the bunny through.  "Some bunny wants you to go to PROM!  if you "carrot"all you'll say YES"  He left it on her car in the morning at seminary.

Her answer came a few days later.

The prom was Saturday April 28th.  Thursday night, Garry and I were on our way to the temple and he asked if we'd gotten a corsage for Natalie!  I completly forgot and prom was two days away!!  I called my good friend Debbie Witt who works at a wedding chapel doing flowers and she said she'd help me get one together.

She went with me on Friday morning to get all the supplies and I found two types of flowers, the mum looking things and white roses.  She made both and let Natalie choose.  She chose the roses.  Then when Tanner went to pick her up and meet for pictures, it turns out one of the girls forgot her boutineer and needed to use the white rose one.  So Natalie ended up using the mum ones.  Tanner and I liked those the best because they were different, so we were glad she ended up using them.

Tanner ordered this vest and tie on Amazon and it looked like it would match from the pictures, but when it came it was darker than we thought.  Oh well, it was here and he was wearing it.

The flowers matched her dress perfectly.

Natalie looked beautiful and Tanner was very handsome.

They went with Natalie's best friend Heidi and her date Xavier and then Natalie's other friend Sarah and her date Dustin.

The girls all had masks, but none of the boys remembered to get one.  So that was good, it would have been bad if Tanner was the only one who forgot one!

They stole the girls when they weren't looking.

So handsome.

So beautiful.

And they are off. The had a fun/memorable night. They started off at dinner at a Mexican restaurant that overlooked the city. Then they went to the dance which was at the Anthem Revere golf club. They left there about 8:30 and went to the Venitian and watched Phantom of the Opera. It is leaving Vegas at the end of May and Dustin scored tickets for them for $35.00/person and they had great seats! And that folks was prom 2012!!
