Yesterday was Mark Andrew Fagala's 16th birthday. Our family was blessed to attend the "February Formal" that was held in his honor. We all had a fabulous time! The ladies all looked lovely in all their finery and the men couldn't have been more handsome. It is rare these days that event comes up that a person gets to truly dress up. It was delightful to say the very least! Twenty-nine folks braved the weather to gather in the Fagala home for a delicious hors d'oeuvres dinner, parlor games and sweet fellowship.
I had so much fun taking photos of this special event and was grateful for the opportunity to work on improving my photography skills. Below are few (of the many!) photos that represent this wonderful event. In fact, our family had such a good time that we are thinking of hosting a Fall Formal in honor of Dennah's 17th birthday. Now wouldn't that be fun?!

Mama Nice is Kathy Fagala's mother and is "Mama Niece" to everyone else.
