Historical Ball

We were invited to a Ceremony of Blessing. (A Christian version of a bar mitzvah.) It was a beautiful ceremony along with dinner and a historical dance. 
We learned the Virginia Reel and other dances of the same time period. I planned on renting our costumes, but the hefty price tag changed my mind. I went to plan B - thrift stores! Payton and I had lots of fun shopping. There were some really fancy gowns at the dance, but with what we had to work with, I think we (some what) pulled off the Victorian style we intended. 

 My kids claim that everyone in "old" pictures are extremely serious. So this is their impression. :)

Here they are getting dance instructions.
