Black tie weekend!

Yesterday was the long-awaited Junior Cotillion Grand Ball.

Was it "long-awaited?"   Maybe more "long time coming?" 

Either way, it was time for Matt to get all decked out and show off those cotillion skills.  Naturally,  we'd like to see them in practice EVERY day, minus the formal wear, of course.

On the other hand, the kid cleans up nice.  I love a fella in a tuxedo, don't you?   We had a near fashion faux pas when I noticed Matt was wearing TAN SOCKS with his tuxedo.  Ummmmm...black socks came with the tux.  What would possess you to 1. Wear your own socks, and 2. Wear tan!?!?

Once we got all that straightened out, he really did look quite dapper.  He even decided to wear his own Vandy tie for the ball, which was an especially nice choice given our awesome win over Kentucky yesterday afternoon!  Go Dores!

Mom and Dad got dressed up, too.  No black tie for us since we merely dropped off, went out to dinner and then returned for the last twenty minutes for the Mom/Son and Dad/Daughter dance, but in the spirit of the evening, we also took the traditional photo in front of the fireplace at Richland Country Club.

Truth is, this is a little more us . . .
