Senior Night done right ✨🚌
Starting at the Jupiter Lighthouse where we even spotted Santa, then off to the Maltz Theatre where we were treated to Christmas songs performances. After dinner at United Methodist Church of Jupiter, we cruised through neighborhoods glowing with Christmas lights and ended the night with food and fellowship at Ms. West’s house. So grateful for every stop and everyone who made this night so special 🤍
