football homecoming!!!
(katherine, jacob, and hannah: 2007)
***in the usa, all the high schools play football in the fall. football homecoming is a night that the high school's alumni is especially invited back to their alma mater to watch the game and take in a special halftime show where a queen and king are crowned (seniors chosen by their peers). there is then a big dance/party/pictures after the game for all the high school students.
love and blessings,

I am not sure what Football Homecoming is ~ but they look so smart all 3 of them!!
We don't have any of these kind of things in the UK ~ I wish we did ~ it gives the kids an excuse to get dressed up and have a party.
Sending love and hugs XXXX
BAHAHAHAHAHA
We look---smart :P
Definitely the face I have going there...

Football Homecoming. I remember that. That was a long time ago in another time.
GO COLONEL'S
We haven't started school yet and you are getting ready for homecoming.
Katherine looks sweet in her pink dress.
Love that pink dress. So so cute.
Yeah for homecoming. Did they have spirit week yet? Let us know. I love how you inform your Aussie friends I am assuming, how it all works here. It really is quite cool. Now I am putting a face to Tabitha. She commented a couple of times. She must be a friend of yours Dani. I get it now. :)
Have fun with all those kids.
Thanks for that Dani ~ I understand now!! All I know about school in the US is what you have told me here and what I have seen when Lauren watches High School Musical tee hee!!! I know ~ I am silly ha ha !!!
Love and hugs to you !! XXXXXXXXX
We love football too! I think we should be thankful for football, how about you? tee hee
I remember those days. Buying an expensive dress to wear ONE time and fretting over my puffy hair. Good times.
Ahhh, the memories! Homecoming is HUGE down here. Like super HUGE.
I can't wait until mine are old enough for Homecoming.
Same thing as Tabitha said: we don't have things like that here in Belgium :( (nor do we have any shops that sell bridesmaids dresses or prom dresses...).
I would have loved to dress up! Has Kat been internet shopping for a dress yet?
Love,
Tania
Oh! I love memories of Homecoming!! The football game, the dance! And I just might have been the queen....ohhhlalala!!
That girl of yours sure is gorg-e-ous!!
Great photo and i love Katherines pink dress.
Thanks for explaining it all to me:) I really think our schools should do more things like that.

hey, tabitha:)
it is a good excuse for the kids to dress up and have fun. the kids here don't dress up very often any more... at least not like they did when i was in school.
love,
dani

yes, jan, tabitha is a friend of mine:) she is from england... however, none of my friends outside the us do school'ish things like we do...
i told tabitha i always forget that the such is not universal;)
thank you for your compliment. i loved kat's pink dress, too. she's donning black this year.
football kicks off this friday; so, they haven't started with all the frenzy, yet.
i'll let you know:D
love,
dani

i hope you fared hurricane fay well:D
hugs,
dani
yep, christy... and one time was all it was worn!!! but, they did have a great time:D i'm glad you have fun memories, too:)
love,
dani
jenn, your time is right around the corner. i still cannot believe how quickly it snuck up on me...
love,
dani
she has been shopping, tania:) she's wearing a black ballerina dress this year...
i cannot believe you don't have dressy dress stores. maybe you should suggest formal dances for the schools and open you up a boutique:D how fun would that be!!!
love,
dani
were you the homecoming queen, ashley??? katherine was nominated for the court last year; but, of course a senior is always chosen as queen.
you go girl!!!
love,
dani
thank you, and they should, amanda!!! are there even debutante dances??? i always imagine there to be a lot of formal event in and around the united kingdom...
love,
dani
i bet you are excited, tanya:) we have that here, too. we call it prom... it is also for our 12th graders (seniors) and their dates. ours is held in the spring here (april) right before the kids graduate.
love,
dani
Beauty full pink dress.
Looks like fun.
I guess it shows how completely non-global I am. I have always assumed that all countries (well maybe except third world ones) have the same traditions we do. I guess that was pretty small minded of me. What a shame though, all kids should be able to enjoy spending a fortune on the perfect dress and shoes and jewelry, dinner, flowers and maybe even a limo. And then do it all over again in the spring for Prom.
Ahh, those were the days!
I love the traditions you guys have over there!
We have a formal for Maddy this year and next year she will take part in the debutante ball. Other than that there is nothing else!!
BTW What we play over here is "proper" football-no helmets and padding for our guys LOL!!!!!
Have fun Katherine-make sure we see some pics!!
Take care

Kinda makes me wish I was young again!
Hi Dani,
The "dressy dress" stores are mostly the wedding dress stores.
We do have stores that sell nice dresses, but not many that I would classify under "gown". If you want something really nice than it's nothing of the rack, you have to have it tailor made. We don't have stores that sell floor lenght gowns year rond. Around New Year the stores have some special dresses.
I'm beginning to browse around (Kat's style: on the internet!) for a dress that would work for my 10 year anniversary. I'm also playing with the thought of making it myself. We'll see, there's still time.
Love,
Tania
thank you, kristen:) it is a fun time of the school year!!!
love,
dani
suz,
it was small minded of me... (i know). and, it is craziness, but it is also fun:) we don't do anything really extravagant other than the dress here (on the lane) except for prom.
love,
dani
weren't they michelle:D i have a lot of great memories of high-school-gone-by!!!
love,
dani
hi, megan:) we SHOULD play "footy" here, too!!! the crazy football we play is really very dangerous.
we have football and basketball homecoming dances then prom for seniors in the spring...
we don't have debutante balls, though, locally. i think they are beautiful and really hope maddy enjoys hers:D
love,
dnai
it kind of does me too, j:) and then i think, "nah...", HA!!!
love,
dani
tania, i don't know about delivery... but, i actually order most of katherine's dresses online from dillards. they seem to have the largest selection of all colors and designs. good luck finding your dress:D
love,
dani
