My brother, Christian, had his oldest friend in the world, visiting from California (how to know who he is? Look for the 1940's pompadour hairstyle) . He got to witness the crowning of the queen--he didn't seem very impressed, but I was and I took a million pictures (of course).
This was especially emotional because Andrew, my youngest brother, got to walk with Hannah. Hannah's brother, Layne, and Christian were very very very best friends. Layne passed away last July so Christian and his buddies were representin' him not being there.
They came out to represent Layne as well.
This is Hannah's GINORMOUS and cool tattoo for her brother, Layne. I can tell you her mother was none too pleased about it, but I think it matches her dress quite nicely, don't you?
Here is my brother Andrew with HIS two oldest friends in world. Can you tell they are anxiously awaiting the candidates?
Hey guys?! What are you looking at? I know it's not one of your idiot friends in the stands because you're supposed to be focused on your candidate coming towards you RIGHT now.......
Oh look! It WAS an idiot friend! Yes he brought a whole bag of greasy tortilla chips to a football game cause that's how he rolls (or is it chips?). I have no idea what his taped fingers mean.
I think her dress was STANDOUT gorgeous! I can decide if I want to steal it to wear (where to I don't know, I'm not going to a ball anytime soon), or swim around in our pool pretending to be the prettiest mermaid under the sea......
Hello Gorgeous dress.
Can I just say I think it's REALLY weird the dad's walk the girl's down? I get the tradition, but it makes me think they are giving them away to be married....
*Side note: When I was homecoming candidate, my dad walk me down to the person I would marry six years later....so maybe it's not such a bad tradition??
Although I can't see Hannah saying yes to Andrew.....
*Second Side Note: Hannah said to me right before they walked: "He's ( my idiot brother Andrew) not going to do anything to embarrass me, RIGHT!?" I told her he talked about bending her back, hiking her leg and smooching her right on the lips......she wasn't amused.
These are the proud moms of the boys. Hannah's mom is on the far left.
Football is...kind of a big deal around here, can you tell?
They were JUST DYING to know who would win 2011 Homecoming Queen!!
No really they were, because that means they could go home after the announcement and drink beer.... Have you spotted the 1940's pompadour?
Ladies and Gentlemen! You're 2011 Homecoming Queen.....and my baby brother who is supposed to still be 3 years old and not escorting a beautiful homecoming queen as a senior!! Who put me in a time travel machine?!
Christian was happy too, but this is the extent of outward brotherly love they have for each other.
I think I heard Christian say: "Good thing you didn't smooch her or else...."
This is the Layne representin' group. I told Hannah her cheeks were going to be sore at the end of the night, from all the pictures. I think this is her trying to conserve her good smiles for later....
"OK! Enough with the pictures!! We have beer in the fridge!" Actually, I'm impressed with myself, I have more than one picture of Andrew looking normal.
Which leads me to this...
....again: WHO PUT ME IN A TIME MACHINE?!
And there you have it: Homecoming on a Friday night, in my small town. I begged and pleaded for Hannah to let me wear her crown "just for a little bit" but she said something about needing it for pictures or something.....
....whatever.
