I was asked to help plan the Mother Daughter Banquet at our church this year.

our colors. classy but fun!

Since my house is all about little boys, I jokingly told someone, "I have to agree to help plan it if I want to be invited." That of course is not true, I do have a mother and actually a daughter too

{but I thought she might be a wee bit young to enjoy it yet.}

Since I do enjoy, food and flowers and candles and pretty stuffs and chocolate and

fun times with other ladies

.....I agreed.

 It was a lot of work but it was fun!! We had a great group of ladies working together and as with most things in life, when you work together and everyone does there part, things go smoother, the hard things are shared and it ends up being more fun!! Besides, Mothers and Daughters are truly something to celebrate!!!
