Happy Monday (or late Sunday evening, lol) everyone! How are you all and I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! We had a fabulous weekend but I'm utterly exhausted from it all, lol! On Thursday I taught a Copics Class to a few ladies in my home and then on Friday my mom came and visited for the weekend. So between the running Alexa around to beauty appointments and getting things done at the house it was a CRAZY house, lol! Below I have a little slideshow for you of pictures showing Alexa in her beautiful dress and some of her CREW (large group of friends that went to the dance together). Before the dance we all met up at our neighborhood's waterfall to take pictures and the weather was just beautiful! Then the large group of kids and parents went to our local Clydes (my fave restaurant housed in restored barns from Vermont)--the kids ate at a large table and we all scattered thru-out the restaurant (lucky Alexa had us sitting in the same room with her, lmbo). But the kids were all good and polite and it was a nice start to the evening. Then the kids got hauled over to the high school for the dance. Hubby, me, my mom and Riley all headed home and sat in front of our outdoor fireplace for a bit before it was time to prepare the snacks & goodies for the afterparty at our house. They all showed up (boys & gals) at around 11:20 and stayed until 1:30 am---they talked, laughed, ate and listened to music outside on the patio in front of the fireplace. Then James and I had to clean up, get the girls beds made up downstairs in our finished basement as 5 of the girls spent the night! I fell into bed around 3:30 am still exhausted, lol! But all in all a great weekend for Alexa & her friends! See pics below!
