Rebecca has been planning her sweet 16th birthday party for a year now. She knows that this is the last big party we will be throwing her and so she wanted to have a Masquerade Ball.
She convinced her cousins and a few of their friends to dress up as maids and waiters and serve her and her friends during the party.
At 6pm the guests began to arrive. Everyone was dressed up. Most had masks, although many of them ditched the masks early on, and the fun began.
Dinner and drinks were served in the kitchen. We had planned to celebrate outdoors, but some gray clouds made Rebecca nervous and so we moved everything inside. Virginia was our Mocktail drink maker, and the kids did an excellent job of feeding and taking orders.
At the end of the meal, we had cake and ice cream, followed by presents in the front room.
Then it was on to the dance. Justin DJ'd the event and the kids had a blast. Dancing was fairly constant for about an hour and then during the last hour kids floated between the dance floor and the comfy couches we had moved into our living room.
At the end of the night I asked Rebecca. . . "A year of planning. Was it worth it?"
Her answer. . . "Yahhh."
