A New New Year's Tradition

Our children had a grand scheme...
 ....to host a regency era ball....in our living room....w/ about 50 people....

It all came to be.

 Here are some of the pictures that were a result of that evening....January 1, 2012.

There were definately little people involved...very cute little people....at least a dozen people whose ages are in the single digits! Our littles all learned the dances beforehand....well, basically learned the dances....





Lots of dancing (I use the term loosely, but I will say that nobody was injured, and by the end of the evening, we rather looked the part!)




Though I think it will be a new New Year's tradition, I don't think it will be limited to that single day! I hear mutterings of a summer time shindig in the makings! You can look up these fun dances on youtube...and do them with your family, too! They are very fun!

May the Lord bless you all in the New Year! as you seek to follow Him!

  3. The dresses are so lovely and it looks like you all had such a fun time.

    A summer time ball sounds wonderful. I can just imagine it...outdoors, fresh flowers everywhere, twinkly lights....that is, if your summer weather is a bit more reliable than ours is!!

  10. So nice to meet you on my blog! I'm enjoying all the pictures of your precious family. This dance looks like SO MUCH FUN! I'd love to do something like this but I think we'd have to live in a different house, lol! The ladies and gents look gorgeous and I love how the little ones were included.
