Sock Hop!

This Friday found us heading to Lila's school for a Sock Hop!  We met up with Jen, Celia & Ruby so the girls could all boogie down together!!!  It had been several weeks since the girls had seen each other, so they couldn't have been more excited!!!



All smiles!

We dusted off Lila's Pink Lady costume from Halloween two years ago, I was praying that we could still make it work!  Thankfully the only part of the costume that really had a "size" was her jacket.  It was a bit short, specifically in the arms, but we made it work! 

Smooch!



The Pink Ladies!

The gym was full of kids, and parents, dressed up in their best 50's attire!  It was too cute!  The kids were loving the music from the DJ and the parents were able to let them run off and have fun or join in on the dancing, too!

Taking it all in...

 

The girls all found their friends and then you could see them most often holding hands making their way around the gym.  They would stop and dance or stop to chat with other friends, but mostly arm in arm scooping the loop!

Among some of the evening activities they called each age/grade up to the stage to have their picture taken!  There weren't a lot of 3 year olds there that evening, but those that were there were able to get a picture taken together!  Pretty cute!

Preschool 3 year olds!

One of the cutest parts of the night was wacthing the kids do the Chicken Dance.  Now, I have to admit, I can't stand that song, but when you have a room full of kids doing it, it made the song bearable!

We got home from the Sock Hop with a tired little girl.  However, she had enough energy to open a special gift from her cousins! The girls had been in Hawaii for two weeks and they both picked out a gift to bring back for Lila.  While Lila of course loved the gifts, I melted over the sweet card that they made that was taped to the outside of the gift bag!

Thanks Cel & Ru for my great gifts!

The rest of our weekend has been really low-key!  We went to Mike's grandparents last night to spend some time with them and have dinner.  Elaine had found an Electro Art (Lite Brite) toy from when Mike's Mom was a kid!  We spent a lot of time creating light pictures!  That particular toy was 50 years old and still worked like a charm!  Too much fun!

Lila also enjoyed crawling up on Grandma's lap to look at photo albums of her Daddy and Aunt Maria they were little, just like her!

This year we don't have big plans for the Super Bowl, we will just watch it at home with some munchies, hopefully snuggled in with a fire in the fireplace!  Considering the Detroit Lions aren't playing in the game this year, the Eddins household will be rooting for the Ravens!  They are Lila's favorite because they are purple!  Eh, good enough for me!
