Emma and Graham were invited to an Autumn Ball at a friend’s biiiig, beautiful home. There were over 60 young people there, all dressed up looking all fancy/schmancy from what we hear. There was ballroom dancing and waltzing – sounded beautiful!!
Oh to have been a fly on the wall!! =)
We found Emma’s dress at a Vintage Antique Shop in New Mexico – it was really sweet!! She is her own girl through and through – – and the only shoes she wanted to wear were her “Chucks” (aka Converse All-Star Sneakers).
Her boyfriend Josh took her. That’s Graham’s buddy, Spencer, with them. Graham and Spencer were quite tickled with all the girls they each danced with. One in particular caught both their eyes. (May the best man win! j/k)….

Such a sweet thing! What precious kids you have and that Josh – oh my! I love you Linny and I am praying for you.
Emma you couldn't look any more beautiful.What a gorgeous dress! The sneakers were a lovely touch.
Josh is a cutie too! You really must have felt like a princess.
OH MY!! How precious! Sweet, sweet Josh!
Emma looks gorgeous…which totally matches her spirit. Yes, clear down to the Chucks!
And Graham…so handsome..and SO stinkin' grown up! What a catch!
Awe that is so sweet. She looked like a princess too. What fun they must have had. Those boys looked so handsome all dressed up. Hugs
What a special young man to send the parents of his girlfriend such a priceless picture and message. Love all the pictures! What a thoughtful family to have the ball. What great memories they are making.
Okay, Emma looked darling and obviously by Josh's text he was in agreement!!! How fun and how sweet for all of them!!!
I love when God has blessed some with big homes to be able to give back to His kingdom by promoting such a great evening for teens.
Okay, Josh's text just made me cry . . . I am such a sap! How darn sweet, I think he's a keeper!
Love, love, love Emma's dress! What a beautiful princess she is! (With a beautiful heart to match!)
The guys are looking pretty handsome too!
Great pictures, thanks for sharing . . . Chucks and all!

Thank you so much for sharing those awesome pictures- you have such great looking kids!! And Emma & Josh make such a cute couple!
That is just way to cute! 🙂 And to Graham and Spencer may the best man win! Hehehe! 🙂
TOO CUTE AND I LOVE HER DRESS!
So fun! I love Emma's dress! Growing up I took Cotillion classes – girls in white gloves, ballroom dancing, little boys getting punch for little girls. I loved it. Its great to learn ettiquite and manners at a young age!
That's precious. I want to go to a ball!! 🙂
Your kids are so cute! Loved these pictures of them. What a fun thing!
Oh, those pictures are so beautiful! What a wonderful idea–and the text from Josh was SO sweet!
Hi Linny, What wonderful photos and memories that were made. Your Emma looked so beautiful and the guys looked so handsome. Love the vintage dress as well. I hope they were able to stay warm amidst the cold weather.
Hugs and blessings to you this day.

What a blessed mother you are Linny! You know God is gonna do something awesome with this girl of yours… and all the others!
He made her uniquely for His plans, chuck's & all! How precious she is!
What a fun idea! So glad they all had a good time. And I love the chucks – that's totally Em!
My girls would totally wear the antique dress with the "Chuck T's".
Did you see our family pics last month … with 15 pair of Chuck T's? We are definitely a Chuck T family; and I wouldn't be surprised if one of my girls wore them in their wedding.
Sounds like a fun Autumn Ball.
