Dancing Queen

Megan got to go to her first youth dance. Every year the church Halloween dance is for 12 years old and up. She had a really great time.

She started the night by heading over to the Mac counter at Nordstrom with 3 friends so they could get their make-up done for the dance. Megan and Kenzie were scary dolls, Abbie was a fairy, and Ricey was a very cool clown. The make-up was perfect and the girls were ready to head over to the dance.

The dance had a pretty good crowd and Megan had a ton of fun. The boys from church were great about asking the girls to dance and so Megan got to slow dance quite a bit. Fast dances seemed to have changed since Denise and Derek used to go to dance. Boys and girls don't dance together for fast songs - big groups of kids go out on the floor and dance together. Everytime we saw Megan she seemed to be dancing up a storm - I'm sure she loved that her parents were there for part of the time.

As a side note...Megan and Kenzie won the prize for scariest costume. At least now Denise can say she is an award winning costume designer.
