It was a Formal Family Affair...

We don't often get to do this...

I am thrilled that my girls got to tag along and share in this incredible evening.

To dress up, eat fancy food and look and feel beautiful.

But more so to be there for my folks, was truly something we will always hold dear.

What we didn't know... was my Mom was getting a special award.

For my girls to witness her being honored for hard work, commitment and remarkable contribution...

Wow - what a teachable moment.

And I for one, couldn't have been prouder of both my parents.

Always demonstrating how true grit pays off.
