September 8, 2012 was Maurina's 16th birthday party at my house. The theme was Paris France. It was perfectly planned by Cassandra, my daught-in-law. Jeff came over Friday night to put up the lights. Of course, it didn't go as planned (techno difficulties). However plan "B" worked great and the lights went up. We called it a night.
Saturday morning came and we were busy decorating. The heat was awful and the sweat profuse. We just couldn't drink enought water! By about 3:00 everything was in place and looked fabulous. We called it quits until 5:00 when we would arrange all the food and I mean ALL the food. We prepared cheese and crackers, fruit platters with yummy dip, chicken salad sandwiches, cupcakes, cream puffs, mini eclaires and drinks. Everything was perfect.
The party went from 6 to 10pm. There was music, picture moments, games, and of course plenty of eating all the yummy food. A lot of Maurina's friends and family came to enjoy and celebrate this special night with her. We all had a great time visiting and laughing. The weather was cool and beautiful. The yard looked so pretty with all the shining lights around the yard and in the tree. It's times like this that make all the hard work worth while.
I am certainly proud of my family and the many ways they show their love. This was a night to remember.
