Preparing to dance the "First of April"
How people can have a wonderful group together and not dance, I don't know. This group was sadly short of willing young men (WE MISS PETER!!!). But we still had some young ones, and some old-er ones. Getting ready for it was a challenge though as I (Chloe) do not have the vocal chords built for getting people's attention. Daddy was very helpful in this area.
Dancing the "Progressive Gordon"
I find this dance to be EXTREMELY popular. We had requests to dance it again even after the last round was NINE MINUTES LONG!!!!!
Dancing an English Country style dance that Ruby and I choreographed but did not name. And yes I suppose it is possible to fall asleep dancing (notice Olivia).
I had the joy of giving many different girls with many different hair types many different up-dos. Here is one of them (Megan Stonebraker). I love doing hair.

Dear Rachel,
Oh you are so welcome! And please come again next year!
Dear Jordan,
:)
That blouse was actually my grandmother's. When she was young, she wore it for a Mary Poppins play, or something like that, and one other thing that she acted in. It was actually convenient that we still had it, since I didn't really have anything to wear under the vest. :)
We did, as Rachel said, have a ball. :)
Ruby
Oh, come on Jordan! You can spell better than that! (Not much though...) It's nice to know the history behind your clothing, Ruby. :) My costume didn't exist as of a month ago. :)
We did have a ball, didn't we?
Olivia

Thank you so much for coming! We were very happy that you could join us this year. Gabriel was excited to see you again.
Jordan,

~Ruby
Why do you (Jordan)always pick on me? Humph. I'm a good target, huh? Well, I don't think so.
Ruby,
I just love your blouse too. The bottoms of the sleeves, and the collar, were my favorite part. I hope with all my heart we can come next year.
