There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

FEBRUARY 15, 2013 -- SWEETHEART BALL

SWEETHEART BALL
FEBRUARY 15, 2013

We had a fun time working as a family to put on the "Sweetheart Ball!"
Joseph created and ran the music -- with  my input on songs, of course, for us old people.  Everyone helped make food, Benjamin and Rebecca ran the photo booth, and the kids worked in the kitchen and served the dessert!  It was a fun evening, everyone seemed to have a good time and we had lots of compliments on how fun it was!  Yeah!!!!  We consider that a success!  

Isn't David just the cutest kid ever?????


 Benjamin and Rebecca ran the photo booth!

Benjamin doesn't care much for his picture to be taken. It seems painful for him.

 Bethany and her good friend, Miss Lizzie.

Daniel was the chief "busboy" and cleared tables all night!
Rebecca is a teenage girl -- "nuf said!" :)
 The Sweetheart Ball set up!

Dad and Mom had a great time dancing!!! I teased Dad that Joseph knew more moves that he did -- Joseph knows about 5 moves -- compared to Dad's 4!  I love dancing with Dad!!!  I love it the most because I know he doesn't love it and he would rather not be out on the dance floor, but he does it for me because he knows I love it!  Thanks my dear!  I guess I shouldn't tease him! :)
 We never went to the photo booth, so the kids took our picture while cleaning up!  Mistake:  I didn't take kitchen towels to the church -- took most of the dishes home dirty to wash the next day!

 Someone took the camera for a fun photo shoot with Mason!!!
These were a fun surprise!!!


 Candid shots of the family at work!
Yes, this is Rachel working!!!  Always full of fun!!! We love her!

THANK YOU MY AMAZING CHILDREN FOR A VERY MEMORABLE EVENING!!!
