Glitz & Glamour.......

Our night to shine at the AMA's. So fun.
Kali and I had appointments for makeup...Kali had her hair done...dresses laid out...new heels to prance around in....our night finally arrived....
After calling around and conducting my normal planning ways...I was told the "place" to eat on Sunday's near Nokia is LA Market. Good food. Valet. Beautiful large hand-carved wooden table to seat us....walking distance to the venue. Oh. And GOOD wine. mmmm.
Kali andI met at Maria's. First round of girls. Ready to brave the storm and rain....
Mama. And Maria checking the wine list....

Our group
Amazing bottle of Cab. Yes. I shared.
The girls' after dinner treats. It's the cute little things.
KK, Kali and Madi -
Mamarazzi gettin' in on the flash!
And the wine flowed......
Teenage years.
Brian, Linda and Maria....such fun!
Shelly, Esther and Gracie

Let the fun begin....so much to see. Dresses. Dresses and more dresses!

Before the show starts..

LMFAO stole the show. J-LO, The Beebs, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry...all took the stage. Nothing rocked the house like LMFAO-
Taylor winning again. ugh. Did I say ugh? Sorry...I was rootin' for Adele. Simply the best. To me.
Long day. Long night. Sincere good fun....the night coming to a close....

Valet here we come. Kali's tootsie's were on fire. Funny watching the progress of your once little girl in the baby shoes we provided; onto picking out her own new pair of big girl heels..at this point of the night, wanting to crawl to the car... oh the joy' of glamour....sigh...
And just like that...the night came to a close....

We anticipated yesterday's AMA's for many many months. We've had so much going on. A whirlwind weekend of getting things in order so we can enjoy the holiday week at the lake. Grandma Shirley (Bill's Mama) getting out of the hospital after one week in. Kali's normal crazy teenage schedule of practices, studies..and social life...Christy's paddleout in HB held yesterday. I missed. Bill was there, offering love, support and friendship. Kali and I made our memories. I'm holding on tight...because these are the days. Have a great week everyone. Be safe in your travels. Cook to your hearts content, opening that wonderful bottle of wine prior to your guests arriving, sharing a big smile and hug for them as they arrive...keeping in mind. Life is fast. Life is good. Live in the moment. Thank you Maria for the amazing fun night. We will cherish forever. Cheers! I mean, Gobble Gobble!
