We got to get all fancy this weekend and it sure was fun!! We were invited to a charity ball on Friday evening for our local Big Brother’s Big Sister’s chapter which was a black tie affair. We put on our finest clothes (well Matt had to rent his tux because he doesn’t own anything that fine and I used the occasion as an excuse to buy a new long dress!). And we got all made up. I got my hair done and because I hate being pale, I got a spray tan too 🙂 We snapped a few pictures before we walked out the door.
The theme of the ball was “A Night in Oz” which was really fun. They had the Wizard of Oz characters walking around and singing as we walked in.
All the girls at the table…
The band was awesome!! They were out of Atlanta and Matt and I were definitely raising the roof by the end of the night 🙂
Saturday was spent hanging out at the house. I actually made it to Pure Barre at 9:30am which was amazing and it did make me feel better for the rest of the day!! We mostly chased this little kid around the house the rest of the day…
On Sunday we headed to our friends house for their daughter’s first birthday party. It was a beautiful day because the sun was actually shining and it was pretty warm out. The kids had fun playing and the birthday girl had a feast with her smash cake. I wish I had a picture!!
My poor nephew was petrified with Brody behind the wheel! I can’t blame him one bit. Two seconds later, Brody pushed the cart backwards and almost had William on the ground!!
I wore my tassel trim top from J. Crew that I also have in black. You can get it on sale now for like $18. Such.A.Steal!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Mingle Monday with Meg
