Shelby's 12th Birthday

Last year Shelby's birthday was almost completely forgotten, so this year I had a big party for her at her dance studio. Her dance teacher DeeAnne served as our DJ.

Shelby had her kareoke singing party last night!

It was great fun, kids and adults alike seemed to have a great time. Some of the highlights include all of the kids taking turns in groups singing Britney Spears and N'Sync, Bear and Kelly joining in the dance "The Electric Slide," and showing everybody how it should be done, Uncle Doug's standing ovation performance of "You're a Mean one, Mr. Grinch," plus his and Lesley's great duet of "Summer Love," and Kathy's famous "Santa Baby."

A few of us grownups were feeling spry enough to join the kids in dancing "The Chicken Dance." Victoria performed her best Elvis songs, and Beverly showed off an incredible singing voice for a 7 year old, singing "Oops, I Did it Again." Chris O'Connor rapped it up to "Wild Wild West." It was hysterical when all the kids sang "Little Bunny Foo Foo." I even did a number, and sang "YMCA" while the kids did the dance behind me, and Shelby the Birthday Girl got tricked into a solo of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

A whole evening of good clean fun.
