The Formal
Well it is hard to beleive that Chloe's formal has now come and gone. What a great night. It seems to get more eleborate every year. It was a huge affair - there would have been over 1000 people at the cocktail party and walk through, and there were close on 500 at the Formal dinner. It was a lovely night - and one I am sure we will remember for a long time. This post is going to be long - full of photos lots of lovely memmories
THE FORMAL DINNER
DRESSED FOR THE AFTER FORMAL PARTY
Needless to say we are all a little tired and washed out today. We got home at midnight, and Steve like a wonderful father that he is took a group of Chloe's friends out to the "After Formal Party (30 minutes out of town) and then went back 2 hours later and picked them all up and delivered them home again - so it was nearly 4am when he crawled into bed. Chloe is still asleep but will need to get up soon as she needs to go to work later today. It was a great night and being the biased mum that I am - I think she looked gorgeous and we were so proud of her. Kinda sad that the schooling era of our children's lives is about to end.
Sorry for the HUGE post but these are definately photos and memories that I want to cherish.

Oh wow Karen Chloe looks amazing beautiful and that dress is to die for what a proud moment for you and Steve to see the last of your kids graduate from school
Hi Karen,
The dress is a winner....what perfect colouring for Chloe, too. She looked gorgeous....very mature and poised! Who'd have thunk it? Our little Chloe...she of the mismatched shorts and tops (when she was little) would blossom into such a fashion knockout?
Hope she forgives me for not attending. I truly wish I could've been there to share the experience. Love you all xx Barb
