Dance Dance!

(you can't tell in the pic and I can't get the video to work, but the disco ball works over the cake- so fun!)

Ian turns 7! The big milestone! In the Stockett household he is officially ready to 1)start making his own lunches for school 2) help with the dishes 3) get a higher allowance and add a new chore........

We had dance themed party. I was relieved when he chose this because it sounded fun, and I wouldn't have to make another stinkin superhero cake. ;) As usual I'm having trouble uploading many of my pics. But it was sooooo fun.

We played Limbo, Freeze Dance, had a Dance off, and did pizza and cake.

I walked into the living room, and everyone else was outside or upstairs but this precious gal and Ian (a friend from school he had invited). Days prior he had told me about her and said, "She's REAL nice and she's flexible!" lol. I had to hold back my laughter while I questioned how he determined that. We concluded that she took gymnastics and Ian was inferring. I guess Ian was trying to show her he was pretty bendy himself....

At one point, it got a little hairy, so Jer proclaimed it was time to play, "Are you smarter than ME?" He asked questions and they quietly raised their hands. I love my hubs...

I'm not sure what I like best about this pic. Ian- almost as tall as me, trying to twirl me....A sweet girl trying to get Libby to dance and Libby looking at her like she's crazy.....or the disco ball on our coffee table.....

Come on teeth. Come back.

I'm shocked that Libby didn't scream, "My Turn!My Turn! Happy beeday to me!Happy beeday to Libby!" like she normally does....

Well, we made it. We made it 7 years with an active, fun loving, gentle, brainy, absent minded, blue eyed boy. We made it through thick and thin, amazing and annoying, stunning and surprising, and moments that we'll cherish forever. We also made it through the birthday party.

14 kids, 1 toddler, 2 parents. (us).

Actually- it was one of the better parties, I'd say. Jer and I tagged team. He went into it with a great attitude and was prepared to conquer the night, instead of be annoyed. The kids were wild, excited and full of energy and noise. What better party than a dance party?!

lol. I giggle even now as I replay the night.

I think even Jer and I learned a few new dance moves from the kids.....
