Last night we had our second annual Jones' Sweetheart Ball. The kids have been looking forward to it for weeks. Mackayla has been so excited about getting all dressed up, and Bradley couldn't wait to get the disco ball out. They've been practicing their curtsy and bows for weeks, also, in preparation for the ball. Jared and Bradley were in charge of the lights and music. Mackayla and I were in charge of decorations and food. It was a fun night for us so there are a lot of pictures!
Ready for the ball!

Some Food
As I was setting stuff on the table Bradley kept exclaiming, "the table looks Dang Pretty!" I guess he was impressed.

Daddy pouring the drinks
Cheers
Since it was all finger food we just let Jacob have at it. He loved helping himself, and ate a ton.
Daddy/Daughter dance.Mackayla was very into the dancing part. Her dad would bow as he asked her to dance, and she would curtsy as she accepted. Bradley would usually then go and bow to Mackayla asking to cut in.
Dancing the night away
I had to persuade my little guys to dance with me most of the time. They were pretty busy doing their own thing on the dance floor.
Jacob RAN around the dance floor the ENTIRE time! He just kept following the lights from the disco ball yelling, "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!..."
I tried to get a picture of the bow and curtsy.
Jacob was admiring her jewels
Jacob has his own style. This is how he preferred to dance with the ladies.
For the last dance I got to dance with two at the same time!!

How could I have not had a good time at this ball with so many good looking little men to dance with?

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am always so impressed with all your awesome and fun ideas for your family! You are such a good mom :) One of these days, I will steal this idea of a sweetheart ball -- so cute!! :)
I tried to suggest this idea to Scott but he just looked and me strangly and said "well I guess we could all just take turns dancing with you." After seeing all your awesome pictures, I think he realized he missed out on a ton of family fun!
