Having a Ball

The Masquerade Ball this weekend was a HUGE success! Analiese found the perfect little black dress and mask for the evening. Her daddy presented her with a single red rose wrist corsage and drove her to the ballroom dance studio, which is only 1.5 miles from our house. This event was almost in our backyard -- high school students from Roseville, Rocklin, Sacramento, and Yuba City came to the ball. :-) Thankfully, it was not a ballroom blitz!

The photos tell all.

Adding the finishing touches...

Masquerade!

Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade.
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!

What a beautiful/handsome group of kids!

Philippians 4:4-9

(NIV)

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
