Ward Dinner/Dance

Last Saturday, the Young Women were in charge of a Ward Activity. So we decided to do a Family Fun Night...A dinner and A dance! The girls said they were sick of Ham, Chicken or Turkey for dinner (since that is what every ward activity has)..so we did Lasanga. It was delicious! We put butcher paper on the tables and had crayons for coloring. It was fun and easy cleanup.

Then the fun part started...THE DANCE! One of the YW came over and helped pick out the music. It was hard to choose...we had to try to please all age ranges. We did our best.

A little background...when I was in High School I was reserved. I didn't feel comfortable to dance crazy and just have fun. I guess I was too worried about what others thought. Which was so dumb! So on Saturday..I just made the decision that I was going to have fun and dance the night away. Eric doesn't like to dance...so I kindly asked him to have fun with me and dance with me. I told him it would mean a lot to ME! And it did! The dance was going to last just one hour...AND then dessert. (I knew if we served dessert first everyone would leave and not dance..and it worked...everyone stayed. Proabbly not by choice.) The dance only ended up being about 45 minutes because all the NON dancers got bored...so we ended it early. But we still had a great time. The kids were hillarious! They loved doing the chicken dance, limbo, YMCA, and the "Hitch" Line.

And I discovered something...I LOVE TO DANCE!!!! And it is great exercise...my calfs are still sore and it has been 3 days. It was worth it!

Eric and I dancing to "So Close" from Enchanted.

(Not the best picture of us..oh well I at least have proof that he danced with me!)

We were the first ones to the "Hitch" Line. (That is what I call it...

At the end of "Hitch" they dance down a line two people at a time.)

It was one of the best dances!

Brooklyn loved the dance!

Easton going down with Andrea. He had fun
except for the times he got kicked in the face by the
kids doing breakdancing.
How low can you go!!!
Limbo Time...Easton almost made it!

Brooklyn cheated!
