Valentine's in Vegas!

Matt and I snuck away on Valentine's weekend. It wasn't for Valentine's Day as we don't typically celebrate it, but it worked out time-wise. 



He finally got me to play quite a bit of video-poker this trip and lucky for me, I won! 



While we were away, Madi and Hunter spent some time at Clay Cafe . . .



They cooked dinner . . . 
Made cake pops!
Then this week at church! 
I had a great presentation at work and was thankful for Fanni giving the closing remarks. 
What a fast semester so far! It's almost March!

Valentine's Dinner!

Love these pictures of Madi, Hunter and his brother Austin at church! 

Aww such cuties when they twin!
Madi's beautiful flower arrangement she made at school.
Thursday night we met Madi and Hunter for dinner at the Tech Club and called it our Valentine's Family dinner!
It was fun to get to visit with while overlooking the stadium!
Puppy pile! 
Thankful for this guy!

Debutante Ball

 

Friday night, Matt and Madi attended a father/daughter dinner before the ball rehearsal.
I was thankful that this wasn't the only picture they shared with me. 

After the dinner, Hunter and I met them at the Civic Center for the rehearsal. First were waltz lessons then we ran through the whole program. Twice. It was a long night. :) 
Saturday it was time for the cocktail hour before the presentation! 



The bouquets were gorgeous!

Time to get ready! 

Here is what was read when Madi was presented. 

Madi looked so beautiful!







After the presentation, we all went to the dinner and dance. Fathers and daughters waltzed first then we had dinner.  I wished I would have taken pictures of our beautiful table. Hunter's parents were able to join us! 
After dinner, the fun began! 





We could tell they were having a blast so Matt and I snuck away and ended the night at F&B talking about all the fun!
The newspaper ran the story and posted beautiful pictures of all the Debs! 







Such a fun time celebrating Madi as she finishes senior year, graduates and starts adulthood!
