Mom's Birthday Bash

A fun and enduring family tradition that has arisen this year is the formal dance in the backyard, aka Dances on the Veranda. Mary and the kids were quite smashing in their dance gowns and suit. I really enjoyed the dance, and particularly dances with the Birthday Girl. It was also fun dancing with each of the kids. Each kid has his or her own song, and so when it came up on the playlist, the dance floor seemed to revolve around the special someone. It's always fun to experience the personality, individuality, and spunk that comes out of the kids on the dance floor! Of course, it's Mom who is leading the gang in the dance moves and gets the group dances going!




This last pic is of Pita's hair. She is always proud of how long it is getting. She can now do a bun! I think it has come just in time for ballet classes! Madge and Pita will be starting a ballet class together tomorrow. Maybe we can find cabyvara-skin leotards here in Brazil.
