Well tonight Aidan went to the Sock Hop at the school. Troy and I stayed and watched from the bleachers. It was a lot of fun. The kids all dressed up in their 50's best with poodle skirts and pony tails and slicked back hair and rolled up jeans. I made Aidan a "zebra" skirt. This was my first attempt at sewing clothing (yikes)but it turned out pretty cute and she loved it.
Aidan's friend, Zachary (He asked her to the dance, but she had already said yes to Caelan. :( The drama starts too early!
Aidan and Ellie
Aidan's "date", Caelan. I'm sorry, Aidan says, "He's not a date, he's a bud"
The teachers really went all out on 50's decorations, concessions including root beer floats, and having the kids dance the Stroll (you know, like the one from the American Bandstand scene in Grease).
They've been learning the Twist so they were all showing off their moves. The best part was that it was just for 3rd-5th grade and the kids aren't worried about looking silly...they were just there to have fun.

I could watch those videos over and over again. Aidan, you look so lovely! We were just watching home movies from the townhouse. Time flies fast!!! Aidan has gone from dancing around the keyboard to going to dances with a date/"friend". Miss you guys a lot!
