Here a prom, there a prom

A little over a week ago, my three oldest nieces had their proms. Three nieces, two different high schools. My niece Anissa went prom dress shopping with her dad and found this beautiful green dress which really suits her. Even though she has short(ish) hair, it looks like an elegant up-do. Here she is with her boyfriend, Quincey (from Quinter, how funny is that?), before heading to the prom.

Quincey is in college, but he and Anissa have been dating since last fall, I think. I just met him over the weekend because he came for Zach's birthday festivities. Seems like a nice young man.

Katie and Frank have been dating since last fall, too. They got to know each other when Katie was the manager for the cross country team after she quit playing volleyball (long story). It's important to point out that Katie's dress (it's actually two pieces) was designed and made by her brother, Christopher. He's a senior in music theatre at Oklahoma City University and he's getting a minor in costume design (he's graduating in a little over a week). There were some scary, hairy times concerning the dress, but he got it finished in time and she looked very glamorous in it with her hair down. It's her very own haute couture. Here's a picture of Katie and Frank in front of their tree my sister, Teresa (Katie's mom), calls Fat Albert.

Next month they'll both be graduating and then going off to college in the fall. It seems like just yesterday they were little girls and now they're practically grown.

Pictures of Jessica and her boyfriend (as she's now calling him), Donnie, will come as soon as someone sends them to me.
