Lexi was asked a few months ago to Mormon Prom with her friend Caleb Erickson. Mormon Prom is a big dance our church puts on for all the kids in our region. Some girls don't get asked to their school prom, some boys don't want to go to their school prom, and sometimes there is not a good environment at the school prom- so Mormon Prom is a place that will have activities, clean fun music, and you don't have to have a date if you don't want to.
I took Lexi shopping for a dress shortly after he asked her because I thought it would be really hard to find a modest dress that wasn't ugly. I was wrong. We went to David's Bridal and looked through their bridesmaid dresses and found quite a few that were really cute.
Lex found the one she really liked, and even better was they had a 30% off sale on Prom Dresses and Bridesmaid dresses!
Caleb was Lexi's first date and Lexi was Caleb's. They were both a little nervous about it being awkward, and about their moms taking too many pictures, but they survived the moms, and had a lot of fun. She was very nervous to stab him with the pin, she had a little help from both mom's, but was able to get it on him.
A limo was rented for all the kids going from our ward- there were 14 kids going. They are all really good friends which is a blessing.
They ate dinner at Cossetta's in St. Paul, then went to the dance for a while. After they got dessert at Dairy Queen. They returned the limo, changed out of their formal clothes and hung out at the Harris' house for a few hours playing games.
She came home tired, but had a great time.
She looked beautiful! It's so strange that a few weeks ago she couldn't drive on her own, couldn't date, and now just because she turned 16 she can. It's so weird- but honestly, it's a lot of fun!
