Happy Hoco #1 For Penny!

Tis the season for Homecomings! :) Penny was off to her 1st HOCO for her Junior year with Ryan! Ryan and Penny were going just as friends! Look how cute his poster he made to ask her!!! He played on her name "Penny" and added pennies to the poster too! So creative and so  cute! She loved it! The day of hoco arrived! 1st up the hike! They met at Ethan's house got donuts then headed up to Mt Charleston to hike! Sadly Penny's date tore his mcl at the football game the night before! He is the jv and varsity kicker for the Arbor! Ouch! Poor thing! So he was not able to make it to the hike and Penny wasn't sure if he was going to make it at all the whole day for hoco!! 

Of course the girls had a photoshoot! Such gorgeous girls! They all had a blast hiking! Lots of chatter, laughter and beautiful scenery! Perfect way to start the hoco day! 

Next up! Making bouquets and getting ready! They all met up  at Dylan's house! Penny and Brooke made the cutest hoco banner! Love these beautiful girls! So much fun making their bouquets! and had a blast getting ready together! Hair and makeup was on! They did several transition tik toks too! lol That is a must! Penny has such a fun day so far and it was only gonna get better!

Pretty Penny all dressed up! Decked  out from head to toe! Absolutely stunning! Next up was pictures at the Smith's Center! Such a great location for pics for sure! 

Pretty in Pink! My Little Bow Peep! Absolutely loved this Pink dress! The style! The fit! and the perfect gorgeous girl in it! :) She is so fun to take pics of!! Like such a natural! Her poses are the best too! The camera loves you baby! 

Ryan made it! Crutches and all! Such a trooper to be there for Penny! Look how amazing they looked together! The pics started a bit late for my camera's liking! lol cause it was getting dark fast and the flash is never that good! Natural lighting is always the best but it's ok! We made it work and as you scroll you will see we took many pics and they turned our beautiful! Making the best out of every opportunity is what Mama Em is best at! lol

Loving all of this!

After pics they headed over to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at the outlet mall! Ryan made it to dinner too! Yayyy! Love all the selfie pics from dinner and  walking around! After dinner was the after party at our house and Decker's back yard! Hot tub at our house! Polar plunge, pickleball, pink pong, and trampoline at Decker's! So grateful for amazing neighbors! They saved the night for letting them use their backyard! We also had snacks, bundtinis and drinks too! They had a blast way into the night! Penny had such an amazing day! Thanks Ryan for taking her out to her 1st Hoco of her Junior year! So happy he was able to come with his poor hurting knee! It was a Hoco success!
