8th Grade Dance

This past Friday was Carissa's 8th grade dance. This is a bit more of a spectacle than my 8th grade dance was. Nowadays, people treat the 8th grade dance as though it were prom. Limos, hairdos, etc. We didn't allow all of that to happen. No limo. She chose NOT to get her hair done, but I did let her get a mani/pedi. We found the dress on sale, but the shoes weren't. =) She looked great and had a good time. All of the girls met at Kelsey's house and Kelsey's mom took them to the dance at The Doubletree Hotel by Universal. Then they went to Citywalk afterwards for a little while.
