My Big, Little Brother!

Way back in January Taylor was already excited that his 16 birthday was the day before prom. First of all, I was glad he was so excited to be going, but also, I was suprised that he is already dating age.


Here we are 16 years ago when I was 13 yrs. and he was 24 hrs. old.


And this is a picture I sent Ryan last summer to show how much he has grown. He now refers to him as "Huge Tay."
My mom asked me to help her with the dinner she was making for the prom goers and I was so happy to be there. It was fun helping Taylor put on his cuff links and buttons.


My mom picked a really yummy menu,


and, I enlisted these two cute boys to be servers. They brought a little silly, light humor to the evening, and did such a good job. They took their job seriously, making sure the "chef at the grill" (aka: Dad) knew how everyone wanted their steaks.

Here is Taylor with his date. Everyone looked so great and it was such a fun night.


When is came time for the party people to head to the dance I overheard my mom ask the kid who was driving if he would mind if Taylor rode in the trunk (they were short one seat and the dance was only a couple blocks away.) Still, I thought it was a joke. When I realized it was for real I had to get a picture. It wasn't quite a trunk, but still hilarious. And, even more funny when I heard my dad say, "It's a conversation starter. Not everyone can say they rode to Prom in the trunk of a car." So true!

He is so huge! I can't believe He is already 16 either. That makes me feel OLD.

How fun! At least the trunk was spacious.

Ah! I'm so glad you posted this! I was so happy to be a part of the asking/answering a few months ago and so sad I couldn't be there for the actual event. The dinner sounds so yummy, the little boys were perfect servers, I am sure, and Taylor and Danielle look so great. What fun!
