Happy Feet

Here are the pictures I took at the party we had for the kids. I think there were about 18 kids in all, and that made for a very noisy but fun party! This first picture is Jamie teaching them the Cupid Shuffle.




The second picture was much later, when the kids drew a piece of paper with a description on it. They had to dance like a firecracker, or ocean wave, etc, and the other kids had to guess what they were. They were great! They were great dancers and astute guessers!






The clapping is for the Casper Slide, one of the most popular dances in the last few years.


There were pretty rose-topped and gross worm-infested cupcakes, the kids were ready for some refreshment after almost constant movement. They overwhelmed Jamie, who tried to pass them out in an orderly fashion.











Good thing Chantze brought a handheld electronic game. It gave them a break from the girls.






Karaoke was enjoyed by many of the kids. Grace and Sandra sang together.


Kayley and Brandie have worms hanging out of their mouths!




Barb brought Rebecca and Rose to the party, and Rebecca quickly got chocolatey.













Paige, Jordin, Brooke, and Kendall were lively and fun, and they were dressed beautifully with their hair done, make-up, dancing shoes, the works!







Emily and her friend Kat hammed it up for the camera.








Here is the whole gang.







It took a long time to get all those lights up, when once I did, it turned the basement into an underground disco scene!

The Macarena was a popular dance because just about everyone knows how to do it!

William brought Elijah, who was a big hit with the girls, they tried to get him to dance and he actually did once or twice. William enjoyed teasing the girls and shocking them, as in this "see food" picture.
Paige does the Macarena with a smile!

Looks like a huge load of fun, and all the kids were spiffed up and shining. It was especially neat seeing all our young with their best buddies. Stroke of genius, Mom.

It was a good time. I had fun trying to entertain them and keep them from getting bored.

They acted like it was free sugar day in the ADD ward.
