Prom 2020!

Laila’s Prom was AWESOME.  I decorated all day on Friday with help from my friend Holly Reid. We borrowed a ton of fabric and lights etc. from Centerpoint Theatre and turned my back yard into a Prom fairyland.  We had an entrance with balloons and lanterns, a dance floor- which was our gazebo without the canvas top, and instead added a sparkly fabric top that you could still see the stars through, lots of fairy lights and balloons.  We also created a space for the after activity of watching a movie.  We hooked around church table cloth to the frame of our outdoor swing and brought out a green couch and had popcorn and drinks.  Holly had a projector to make the movie go big-- and it was all so cute!      Good thing for friends like Holly and Kathleen Newman who lent the lanterns and helped with balloons. 

Our cousin Jenna-- the hair and makeup guru

Laila borrowed a dress from a friend---it was actually shorts with lace on top.   Laila got ready with help from cousin Jenna ( as usual)  her hair and make up were on point, then Max Eiting picked her up with a bouquet of roses at 6:30.  Laila asked Bre to take the prom pics, so she came and did some in our back yard, then they went into SLC to get more fun urban pics. 

 Annett and Mitch Eiting did dinner for these two at their home with steak and potatoes , then they finally arrived at the Dance by 9:00-- danced, had dessert and watched Avatar on the movie screen.  Laila went with Max to her first high school dance as a sophomore and now to her last dance as Seniors.  They have been friends since preschool at 3 years old.    Laila and Max were so grateful for everyone’s efforts to make this night fun during a non fun social distancing COVID time. 

It was so good to do this for my girl. It was great to see her get excited about something and for me to get out of this corona funk by decorating and planning. Laila was laughing and being her gorgeous self.
