PCS Homecoming!

A few weeks ago, we received a phone call from Dakota Wallace, a junior at PCHS, asking if Tilly would be her flower girl for Homecoming!  We were so shocked and honored and excited! And clueless, ha! 

Tilly had several duties to perform during her reign as Dakota's flower girl.  

Tilly's first duty was to ride with her Homecoming Maid in the parade on Friday afternoon.  

David and I found this sweet dress at Dillard's the week before just in case the dress that my mom ordered from China didn't arrive in time.  It did arrive, but it was Friday afternoon and wrinkled beyond my repair, ha!  So grateful for a back up plan! 

Papa and Gigi got up early, early Friday morning in order to drive to our house in time for the parade.  It was so special having them here for this event! 

Here comes Tilly and Dakota! 

I love this picture of Carter waving to Boomer the Bobcat for candy.  

Pretty girls after the parade.  So, once the parade was over, we hurried the flower girl home for a quick nap before the main event that night.  

Here is our beautiful flower girl in her dress and shoes from T and Mama.  So sweet! 

Our three girls.  

Tilly.  

The sun was just beautiful beaming down.  

She wanted a picture of her holding her dress like a princess.  

Tilly and Momma.  We left early to get to the gym because Tilly had to be there to take her pictures with Dakota before the game.  

Tilly and two more sweet flower girls.  

Professional picture time.  

Tilly and Dakota. 

Tilly makes friends wherever she goes.  I love that about her.  She takes after her daddy, for sure! 

Love.  

Tilly and her friend, Hannah.  

Another job Tilly had for the night was doing the Bobcat walk with the other flower girls and maids.  

So sweet. 

I love how she is looking up Dakota so sweetly.  

And this may be one of my most favorite pictures of the night.  Summer ran to catch up with Tilly and walk with her.  I cannot say enough about how proud I am of Summer and Story, but mostly Summer and the way she handled Tilly getting to do something so special.  Summer was genuinely excited for Tilly and so gracious in her attitude.  Melts my momma heart.

The whole court.  How stunning is the sky in the background!

Tilly and me right before the girls lined up to go out onto the field.  

Sweet little flower girls.  Not long after this picture was taken, a player on the other team was badly injured.  An ambulance had to come and get him.  It should also be noted that the time left on the clock was 3:16.  These sweet  little flower girls prayed for this young man and recited John 3:16 together, such a sweet moment.  The young man is fine and should make a full recovery.  

It's almost time! The girls had to line up at mid field and walk down the fifty yard line to meet up with their Homecoming Maid.  

Tilly did a great job, and we could not be more proud of her and for her.  This was such a fun weekend for our little family!
