As mentioned before, one of my favorite things in life is desert. So needless to say when the Chocolate Fantasy Ball rolls around, I'm pretty much in heaven. Yesterday was Keira's "23rd" birthday, so she came with us!
Jason teases me but I consider this to pretty much be the equivalent to the prom. Keira and I had so much fun getting all dolled up. We got some use out of some of our old formals. (not from high school mind you) Shelton Jewelers was even kind enough to let me borrow
a necklace and bracelet, Oscar style!
The main focus of the event is obviously chocolate, but there is a lot of other things going on. Dinner, dancing, silent auction, performers etc. All the big restaurants in town always enter pieces in the competition in the style of the theme. (This year was Cirque du Soliel, years past have been Alice in Wonderland, Renaissance, Underwater, Stone Age etc.) As you walk around and view the creations, getting to vote, you are offered pieces of each of the entries that play on the theme. When your finished there, you
can move onto the chocolate dipping station with the white and milk chocolate fountains, or the final desert station with various truffles and chocolate or caramel covered apples. For entertainment, there were acrobats, jugglers, and stilt walkers.We had so much fun!!!
And for all of you Jaxon fans, he had a great night too, hanging out with Aunt Heidi!
