Lisa, Mrs. Arnold, to the girls, has blessed our lives more than words.  She came over the night before her party to open her present from the girls.  Noelle had picked out several jewelry sets for her because they both have the diva thing going on.  Mrs. Arnold is Noelle’s mentor at school, and Noelle felt so proud to give her something to say thanks!  

 

Mike and I have been looking forward to Lisa’s party for a while now; a great night out celebrating our friend!  As we drove into Dallas, I got so excited!  I love it here in the big city!

Lisa, Rara and I worked so hard on the table decorations.  Mom tied the bows while she was in town at some point (it’s all running together now), and Lisa and I did the rest.  The room was so classy/fancy in person.  It was a magical night!  I was impressed/proud that we pulled it off!  There was a warm fire going in the middle of this patio room, her beautiful cake, two huge arrangements on the bar, as well as an incredible buffet.  We had so much fun celebrating and dancing… it was the perfect night out!

 

The cake was more neon than this… we just didn’t get a good picture.  It was beautiful as you can see.  Everything coordinated perfectly!  Lisa is a wonderful friend, and I am thankful for her straight-forward thinking, her honesty and her unconditional love.  She’s so very special to the PondFam5.  Today, when Lisa brought back the vases, and Rose was saying bye, she ran over and hugged her leg and said, “Bye Arnold!”  Lisa’s spunk and energy for life is contagious, and we love her to pieces.  Happy Birthday, friend!!!

 

These are Lisa’s fun party pics!  Best night out!
