Party Weekend!

This has been quite the party weekend... started on Thursday with 5th grader Cecily's birthday party, then Father Charlie's 70th birthday party at the church hall, then the BEST 10th birthday party ever- a dance party at Reno Hall in Crow for Colton, 4th grader whose family we are close with. Tons of kids from school were there and lots of families that we know. The local celebrity Supaman was the DJ and he did a bit of live rapping in the middle of it- everyone loves him! He knows how to get the crowd going and raps about things that matter. The party was so fun with lots of dancing- I spent most of the time dancing with one of my favorite little second graders Erica.. I always end up finding the little kids who don't stop dancing! At one point I asked her who one of the little boys standing off to the side was- she goes "I don't know, but whoever he is, he's not getting into the beat!" haha!

The gift basket I put together for Colton :)

To round off our party weekend was Super Bowl Sunday. Our 5th grade teacher grew up in Maine and is a hardcore Patriots fan, so we planned to have a little party. Well, as the game was starting we found out that her TV didn't have the channel- a Super Bowl party without the Super Bowl... classic. Hilarity ensued as we piled the pans of chili and cheese dip and bowls of snacks into our van and sped off to a nearby hotel in Hardin where her daughter works. She let us into a room and we had our Super Bowl party off location but in style. Even though the Patriots lost, it was a fun time!

Was hoping to share some photos from Colton's birthday party, but I have to wait to get them from Don. For now here's a picture of the fun Super Bowl cake I made :)
