Ari’s first official dance date after she turned 16 was with Chase.  He was nice enough to fly out from CA to take her.  Lelu was responsible for getting her ready. She did her make-up and helped her pick out her shoes.  I picked out the dress and Pro-do did her hair.  They all came back to our house and I tried to poison the kids with hot chocolate, not knowing B had cleaned the machine and there was still some cleaning fluid in the water holder, I just filled up the water tank.  Thank heavens it tasted disgusting so they didn’t drink it, or I couldn’t be writing about this suffering from PTSD from all the trips to the ER we would still be paying for.  The kids also watched Beauty & The Beast – I think the boys were very good sports to watch that movie.

TT took a cute girl named Kinsley to the Christmas ugly sweater dance.  I think they win the ugly sweater contest too.  They didn’t trust me to host the after dance party.  I can’t imagine why.
