Advancement Night

She wore the green. Go figure. (The coral still has the tags on it, I wonder if the store will take it back?) On Monday at school, DD pulled up my blog on the classroom computer (should I be worried that she actually has my addy memorized?) and all her friends said "Oh! The green! It looks a lot like my dress!" We bought the green dress on clearance at a Junior shop in the mall about 2 years ago - just because she liked it and it was under $10. Who knew? And, you may have noticed, DD talked me into adding streaks to her hair. Okay, they're rather subtle, but it was our first time.

So anyway, here are some pics from the advancement ceremony. For all those who were watching live via satellite, I am sorry the link failed before they reached DD's section. The class had over three hundred kids, so they simply called out names as the child stood up in his/her seat. (I have heard that in previous years they had the students walk forward to receive his/her certificate, but apparently they changed things now that they're in the new building.)

We found one friend to take a picture with after the ceremony was over, then DD wanted to go out to dinner rather than attend the dance. All in all, it was a nice evening.
