"Snowball Dance"

Tonight we went to the "Snowball Dance" at the kids' school.  It was another PTO sponsored activity, so I was in charge of putting it together with the rest of the PTO ladies.  We tried to decorate the cafeteria the best we could to make it not look so much like an eating area.  This is how it all turned out on our little budget...

    I think it turned out pretty cute.  We had a refreshment table, snowflakes (courtesy of the students) and icicle lights on the walls, a DJ (one of our lovely PTO ladies), and a photo area where the kids could take pictures with their friends and/or family members.
As soon as the kids got there, Jaedyn immediately went out on the dance floor with her friend Summer, she was having a good time from the start.       I volunteered Jaron to help out at the treat table.  Jantzen isn't much of a dancer, so he decided to help out there too along with his best friend JoseAlfredo...       This is what Josh was doing when they got there...       ...just standing around being bored because he hates to dance...party pooper!!
Jaedyn, on the other hand, was having a blast dancing with all of her friends.  Here she is with her friends Sophia and Jamie...       She did take a couple little breaks to have some yummy refreshments with Sophia...       ...while my boys acted like nerds for the camera...       ...then she was quickly back to dancing, this time on the stage where everyone could see her...       It didn't take long for her friend Emma to join her up on stage.  I think she likes the stage better because she's used to dancing on one for her dance team.  She's getting to be quite the show off on stage!  It was cute watching her dance because she was having so much fun.       Jaedyn stopped dancing long enough for me to get a quick picture of her with some of her friends.

Jantzen and Jose finally got out on the dance floor and let loose a little bit because "Harlem Shake" came on...       That quickly ended when the song was over and then they just stood in the middle of the dance floor while everyone danced around them...silly boys!       Jaedyn, however, was still going strong...dancing the night away!       Pretty soon all of my boys, including Jose, migrated to where Josh was being anti-social and glued themselves to the phones for the rest of the night.       Jaron was popular with the ladies...       Jaedyn's giving me a pucker up kiss here to say goodnight when the dance was over...       Here's the picture I got of Josh and Jaedyn (with the backdrop I put together with Zulema).  I was happy that he at least would do that.       For some reason when it was time to take a picture here, Jantzen and Jaron were nowhere to be found.  I think they might have been purposely hiding from me.    I was so happy that we (the PTO) decided to host a dance instead of a Santa night this year.  It went so well and the kids all had a blast, especially Jaedyn!  I love it that she was having so much fun.  She reminds me of myself when I was in school.  I loved going to dances and having a good time with my friends.  Hopefully next time I'll be able to get Jantzen and Jaron to dance too.
