The Party is Getting Closer!

The party planning is going well.  Cream colored invitations with red velvet ribbon in an envelope that has been sealed with wax and a fleur de lis stamp will be hand delivered to the guest tomorrow.  I can't believe it is just a little over a couple of weeks away!  Where did last month go?  Lindsey is getting excited and she and Mckenna are on the phone or texting daily to put the final touches on the music list, food, hairstyle options, etc.  We found the perfect tiaras in a antique store. They are going to look so beautiful.  Mckenna's mom is hard at work making wonderful outfits for us to wear.  She is an amazing seamstress! 

The landscapers are at the house laying down flat stones in the back garden so the kids will have a nice clean surface to walk on. The guests will be in nice outfits and the young ladies will be wearing heels, so this will work out very well.  A few days before the party we are having lights hung in the back area.  There will be a professional tent installed down the driveway with carpet for the girls to make their grand entrance.  There's no turning back now --- They move into the next phase of their life!  I love it.

We have reserved the handwriting analysis lady for entertainment.  She will give the guest a paragraph to write and then she'll break it down either while they are with her or they can leave it for her to note the major characteristics.

Lamont Carlis will be the DJ for the evening.  He is ready to make this a great party for the girls and rock the house with great music.  Nothing goes together better than teenagers and good music...Remember those days?  I do. 

Kimberly (older sister) will be a guest and responsible for capturing this event in pictures.  She is the only grownup that looks young enough to fit into the crowd of teenagers without being called out as a "grownup". 

Stephen (Dad) is arriving tomorrow to spend time with Lindsey and be here for her birthday party.  There are not too many things Stephen enjoys more than watching Lindsey have a wonderful time and enjoying her life.  He wouldn't miss this for the world.  He will also be a big help at the party.  He's not too excited or even ready to get in the car with her and allow her to drive him around, but he knows it must be done.  She is doing really good on the driving after she realized that those parked cars are NOT going to move out of her way. 

Next week...We order the cake, reserve the chocolate fountain and find a few punch bowls.

Stay tuned!
