"Yup!"
On February 14th, Courtney, James, and a group of their friends went to Sweethearts.
Instead of going out to a restaurant to eat, the girls decided to make dinner themselves and have it at our house. I whole-heartedly agreed, greedily thinking of all the money I would save.
My luck was holding out when James announced that he had two rugby games to play that day. There was nothing left to do but cancel the "day" activity. (Unfortunate for them, very fortunate for my wallet!)
We spent the day curling hair, painting nails,
baking, decorating,
cleaning and cooking.
Luckily Courtney's friend Kristin came to help.
Big brother Tyler even got in on the action. We asked him if he would google a creative way to fold dinner napkins.
This is what he came up with...
Have I mentioned how much I love Google?
When 6pm rolled around, we were exhausted, but ready.
The dinner turned out great, everything was delicious.
After the dance, it was back to our house for cake and ice cream
and a few rounds of Mafia.
Courtney got the dance pictures back today.
Dress $19.99
Shrug $14.99
Pictures $30.00
Dinner and dessert $30.00
Smile on my daughters face...
Priceless!

What a great Sweetheart date with dinner, dance & refreshments after. Courtney looked beautiful in her lovely outfit.
I cannot believe that Courtney is old enough to date! She is so cute, what a lucky guy!!
I agree, James is super lucky. I love the dress! Thank you for taking so many pictures. sometimes I actually feel close again. love you!
Beautiful Courtney, Handsome James. Terrific in orange. Having fun with friends. What a great day. James said that dances were "okay" but agreed the best part was having a beautiful date on his arm. Smart kid to agree with her grandmother.
What a fun date... Courtney is such a beautiful girl! You would never know that dress was such a bargain!
Oh, Julie, you are such a great mom!
What a handsome couple they make!
