Jr. Sr. Banquet

Tori goes to a private school that is somewhat narrow in their view of what is acceptable. So that means no dancing and no prom.  They have a banquet that they call Jr./Sr. Banquet.  As a Junior, Tori was able to attend this year.  She went with two friends Paige and Jeffery.  I'm thinking Jeffery was one lucky guy walking in with Tori and Paige on his arm!

The day started with Tori skipping school.  Then Tori, Paige, Michaela, and Rachel went to get their nails done.  Tori had been growing hers out for weeks and they were beautiful.  They looked so good, people thought they were fake.

Next came hair:  Jennifer, Tori's youth pastor, is also a hair dresser.  Tori went to her house and Jennifer made Tori's hair beautiful.  She did a technique that is called threading.  She actually used a needle and thread to "sew" Tori's hair up.  It held amazingly well.

On the way to Jennifer's house, Tori saw a field of flowers.  She decided to pick a bouquet as a "thank you" to Jennifer.  I got over there about 2 hours after Tori did and she asked me to go get her surprise for Jennifer out of the truck.  What Tori didn't realize is that these flowers were not going to make it in the heat in her truck for 15 minutes, much less 2 hours.  But it is always the thought that counts :-)

After nails and hair, it is time for makeup and then pictures.  We headed to Jeffery's house for the pictures.  The setting was great and the girls looked beautiful.  One of my friends said that Tori looked like a Greek goddess in the picture below and I couldn't agree more!

And here is a picture of the luckiest guy of the night with two beautiful young ladies - inside and out!

Their ride:  (since it didn't have A/C... this is why it was a good thing that Jennifer had Tori's hair put up really good)
