Chocolate, wine, and flowers are a few of my favorite things!
Valentine's Day was a perfect way for our company to celebrate the gift of love. Not only did I enjoy a romantic evening with my handsome boo in my personal life, I was able to celebrate with several clients. In brief, my classic valentine's date showcased balloons, two dozen roses, chocolates, and an elegant dinner at Bob's Steakhouse.
Many of you don't know, but I have recently started dating someone new. Being our first holiday celebration together the anticipation grew as the 14th approached. We discussed how low key we wanted our date to be. (You can only go up from the first holiday shared, right?) Well, to my lovely surprise he didn't listen and went all out for our Valentine's experience.
As a party planner I naturally analyzed everything my honey planned for our first Valentine's. From his outfit, to the dinner reservation, to the aperitif's afterwards, my professional critique would rank a 10 out of 10 score! Babe, if you're reading, you outdid yourself!
Throughout my emotional roller coaster of how to celebrate with let's just call him... Mr. Good Hair, I helped prepare each weekend in February with a dance for our clients beloved children. Party Time Texas has booked either a Father & Daughter dance or a Mother & Son dance throughout the entire month of February!
The father and daughter dances were "Pretty in Pink". Resulting in escorted princess dances with the touching tip toe twirl around the dance floor.
However, the mother and son dances were a bit more casual. In order to keep the boys entertained there were several mother and son games. Consisting of foosball, basketball, corn-holes, Jenga, and Monopoly. Thank God the games were a part of the dance. The boys had more energy than an energized bunny! Screaming with joy, jumping like kangaroos, and sprinting from one side of the dance floor to the other, the boys knew that was their night to par-taayyy. The dance was entertaining to say the least. I've realized that little boys love their mommies, but don't want to dance with them. Tee- hee they need a little encouragement. As a result, our DJ bribed the kids with sponge like football, basketball, and baseball- balls. Once the boys heard they got a prize to dance with their mom, they ran to their table and pulled their hands onto the dance floor.
My favorite part of the dance had to be the dance off. I knew this mother and son were excited to dance, but lawddd did they bring the moves. They made sure to show off their practiced dance(s) in front of our DJ (who was judging the dance contest). Once, we crowned them, the explosive reaction melted everyone's hearts.
Each event, personal and professional, this month has made my heart grow twice its size. What a spectacular season to see how much love is truly in the air!
