Viennese Ball
 |
| We had an amazing girl's evening at our Viennese Ball! There were 10 younger and 10 older girls. The older girls were the ones responsible for putting on the evening and making it special for the younger ones. The emphasis was on making them feel special, loved and valuable as people, but especially in God's eyes. These days, so much emphasis is put on being beautiful, but it's not so common to hear about being beautiful on the inside, where it counts to God. It's written that "The King's Daughter is all glorious within." That is where a person's true beauty actually lies - in their heart. We were all encouraged to preserve our hearts, above everything else! |
The girls were all picked up by two of the dads, given a red rose, and chauffeured over. Pretzel buns with spiced yogurt cheese and fresh cranberry tea were served in the entrance when everyone came in.
Jessica, Liz and Christina - looking stunning!
Jenn and I were in charge of the food. We found a Viennese restaurant online, with recipes typically served after a ball.

I truly loved those pictures. Wish I could have been there. One of the reasons I am glad you are home now is that I get updates from Delaware every now and then. I love the frame picture idea and I also really like the picture of everyone sleeping. That looks like fun. Miss you girls so much!
A beautiful evening! A beautiful bunch of girls!
Thanks for sharing the evening!
