Our Church tries to have family activities for the different holidays and one of the things they do is a family Valentine’s dance. This year they did a Hawaiian themed dance (not sure how they decided on Hawaiian but it was lots of fun). So the day of the dance I went to Party City and bought grass skirts for the girls and leis for the rest of the family. They both loved dressing up and had a great time!! Josh and I are not huge dress up people (I know party poopers, right) but I broke out my flip flops and wore a lei, it was too cold to go any more Hawaiian than that and Josh wore his lei all night too. The girls just looked adorable and had so much fun. I took several pictures at the dance and when I got home realized that I didn’t have any of Rachel dressed up. I felt really bad until I realized why, she ran to be with friends the second we walked into the door and stayed on the far side of the dance floor the entire night. So I might not have gotten a picture of her but she had an awesome time dancing and being with friends, (I know I am still a bad mom but don’t tell her that).
Well I do have pictures of Sarah and she also had a blast. She tried being independent and dancing by herself on the floor but there were WAY TOO MANY bigger kids running around the place and not paying attention to smaller children and she got knocked to the floor. So after that she wanted Mom or Dad by her side the rest of the night.

Festive Josh, doesn't he look happy?
Doing the Hokey Pokey, put your left elbow in and shake it all about
After all the complaining last year because I made it “church dress” Bishop suggested a theme – and that’s the theme he suggested. So Hawaiian it was!
Mom taught us to be more fun than that! I wanted to see you sport a coconut shell bra over that T-Shirt!
