Charlie and Lili go to the prom

Not many three-year-olds get to go to a high school prom.  Charlie Jo was very lucky that she got to hang out in the lobby outside of her buddy Faith Carol's prom tonight before Alicia and I went in to take photos of the seniors being introduced.  Isn't that a sweet tradition?

Charlie declared that all the girls looked like Cinderella in their prom dresses.  FYI -- apparently it's not cool anymore for the guys to wear dress shoes with their tuxedos, so we saw a whole array of everything from Vans to tennis shoes.  Meanwhile, their dates were teetering around in gorgeous heels, amazing dresses, professionally done nails and hair, and fancy jewelry.  Faith Carol looked absolutely gorgeous, and it seemed to kind of intimidate Charlie!  Here she is, trying to lunge back into my arms after Faithy picked her up.

After we got home, Charlie Jo wanted to dress up and go to the prom.  I have a feeling that her animals will be acting out that very scenario when she plays with them tomorrow.
