family pics...

Saturday was the Father/Daughter Royal Purity Ball hosted by our local church. Jim took the girls - Anna is in blue, Elizabeth is in black. The Ball is to help the girls learn that they should stay true to themselves, growing up.

My sister is the chair-person for this Ball. Each year, the girls get little gifts to remember the occasion. This year, I made the fabric baskets, which were filled with chocolates, a perfume sample, etc. I made 100 baskets. (There were 90+ girls this year, up from 70-some, last year!)

And here is David and Jimmy. They are wild-and-crazy boys! :o) Boy, does Jimmy look up to his big brother! :o)
Thanks for visiting!

How wonderful for the girls to have such a wonderful evening! Kudos to you for the wonderful fabric baskets, they are so cool!
I imagine the boys kind of liked having you to themselves for a while didn't they?? Have a wonderful Tuesday. :D

Hi Angela,
The girls look so pleased to be standing there with their dad, all dressed up and wearing their wrist corsages, and the boys are cute as always. I bet the fabric baskets were a big hit, and a nice remembrance for them all.

Hi Angela, what a nice looking family. I can't imagine making 100 baskets, sounds like fun though and I bet the girls are going to love them.

Wow you have been very busy! What a great idea though! I think maybe there should be more of that. You do have a lovely family!
