2 superheroes & a princess: basketball, birthday, a ball, bikes, balls, & boys

A little look into our weekend...

Grandmommy & Granddaddy came up for the weekend!

Some basketball was played. No baskets attempted by Avery yet, but he is getting good at getting the ball and making passes to his teammates. The Heat played a great game against a great team!

A little cheerleader got a little too sleepy during the game and took a little power nap!

Someone celebrated her 27th birthday {or 72nd...like my kids liked to call it ;)}.

{Don't worry Kels this will make it into the scrapbook ;)}

We had our 10th "prom" this weekend! I don't really know how we got that old because I am pretty sure our first real prom was just a couple of years ago! In all seriousness, Ryan & I went to Garmin's Winter Event Saturday night, which is also known as "Garmin Prom". You can see the first nine proms in this post here. You can see Ryan really went with the casual look this year way more so then in the past. Okay here's the story...Garmin Prom used to say that the event was "semi-formal"...which I am all for! I actually do {love} being able to dress up nice once a year! Last year they all of sudden gave these directions: "Attire: Dressy Casual

(Dressy or Casual your choice including jeans)"

So what does that mean...really?? Anything pretty much goes! Ryan gets to wear jeans everyday to work at his office job. I think they can ask them to come dressed up for one event once a year. We showed up last year pretty much looking like we normally do and we both felt way overdressed. Everyone was all of a sudden wearing jeans. Boo! Well, this year rolls around and Ryan claims that he doesn't want to look overdressed again so he went with jeans. I am sticking to my guns and am going to wear my dress that I only get to wear once a year. This year when we did show up most people were dressed up again...I know crazy! Therefore, from now on I am making Ryan dress up too no excuses ;). I just hope the directions never turn to...casual dress only...

You can see in my other post too that we used to get a pretty good prom picture, but for the last two years {well I didn't show you last years', but trust me it looks the same} we have gotten this type of photo. Not a fan of it! Who takes a nice formal shot of a couple going horizontal?? Maybe this came about because of the "casualness" of the attire...I guess you can't see that Ryan is wearing jeans. It kind of makes me think that they hired someone from the DMV to do a mug shot ;). Oh well, we still {love} the event and am glad they brought prom back after its several year hiatus! It's a fun night with unlimited buffets, completely open bar for the first two hours, casino games, arcade games, music, and BIG prizes...yet for some reason we haven't won any of them yet and I think our odds are getting worse every year with the huge growth in employees Garmin makes every year!
