A Royal Affair

This was my first ever royal party! For my mom's 60th birthday, Amy and Chad put together this beautiful, fun party! The plan all along was to have this dinner party in my parents backyard, but that afternoon as the rain was POURING and it was a bit chilly we made the quick decision to move it to the church building. Mom didn't know what kind of a birthday party she was having. As Dad brought her in the back door the royal trumpet sounded, a crown was placed on her head and she walked past all the people clapping, on the pink carpet, past the crossed swords, to the front. Then all the guest were announced, one family at a time as they bowed to the queen. We were announced as "His Royal Highness, the Duke of Lehi, Lord Jared and Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Lehi, Princess Melissa." It was a wonderful night of dinner, dancing and presents. We had such a good time I wanted to include lots of pictures!
