Our Stake Daddy/Daughter Dinner Dance

I made our invitations...

So I spent the last two days getting ready for our Stake Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance.  Monday we spent about four hours decorating and setting up table and chairs.  Then Andrea and I went to Costco to get the flowers and rest of the food we needed.  

Then Tuesday morning I spent two hours arranging the flower arrangements.  

I thought everything looked really pretty...we were just really nervous that people come.

Our dessert table.

So I had a couple of hours before I had to be back to start cooking our dinner so I planted some flowers in the yard.  They look really nice, I thought.  I just hope they survive.

We had these beauties serve for us.  We served chicken Alfredo, salad and bread sticks with cheesecake for dessert.  We were very happy with the turn out.  I think we had around 80 or so.  We had someone taking pictures of the dad's with their daughters as we were bringing the food out and we also gave them a necklace that said...Have Courage and Be Kind.  (Rachel made them all.) Andrea did an awesome job talking to the girls about being courageous and kind then the dad's danced with their daughters for about an hour and we didn't have anybody sitting out.  They all were dancing it was so fun!  We are then going to give all the girls their picture in a double sided frame with the quote on the other side.  I hope they like them.

I sure love this beautiful daughter of mine!!!

Clean up went pretty fast.  I left the church around 9:30 but got completely soaked loading up my car it rained so hard, but we were so happy to see the rain.
