why were you all dressed alike? was that a school uniform?
Lovely photo, and thanks for your comment on my blog. There's nothing quite as sweet as bonding over a shared distaste of boiled snails.
Maybe I'll revive my blog and post something new on there...
Ahh, 8th grade graduation. Just before the world goes crazy.

My mom wore a very similar dress for her confirmation, which would've been in 8th grade, also.
