Civil War Ball 2009

Last night (3-28-09) my family and I (except Michael and Leah) went to a Civil War (or regency area) Ball. We had a blast!

Here is my family all dressed up and looking fine.

Here is Mom by our table.

Here are some of the young men that were there.

And they are some of the young ladies present.

Here is Bethany and her friend Elizabeth Isakson.

Yes, Bethany made her dress that she wore to the ball.


Caleb and Nathan are in the background.


She is looking good.


Good swinging there!
