CHS Preference--2015 style!

Most of the day on Saturday was centered around getting Jena ready and off to her Preference related activities.

They had a day date to Classic skating where they were having so much fun they decided to play an extra 30 minutes.  They skated and played around and had a blast according to Gareth, Jena's date.

Then they went home and got cleaned up and dressed up.  It is amazing how beautiful they all are--

Jena and Gareth
she is the shortest and he is the tallest of the group

 They met at the Legacy Park in Syracuse for these pictures along with several other groups.  Jena knew lots of the girls when we arrived.  It was fun to see her comfortable and welcomed by her peers even those not in her group.

The FUNNY picture

And another one!

Jena and Kate
They are good friends.

The boys stare in the distance --it's a thing, apparently.

Fun flowers

And kisses from the girls!

They had dinner catered at one of the girl's homes, went to the dance in Ogden (which was awesome according to Jena and the others who went), and then went to Kate's house and played Headbandz (how do you spell that?) and Catch Phrase.  Jena got home just after mid-night, happy and content with her evening.

So fun on Facebook to watch all of the pictures of the kids being posted by their parents long before the dance even ended.  I loved talking to the teens at Church today and commenting on their dresses or ties or whatever.  It does make it feel like family as we share these things together.  Of course, Jena loved people complimenting her as well .

Oh, the high school days.........
