Dance Mania

I've been getting behind on my blogging, but I just wanted to share a few pictures from last weekend. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and the kids partied hard at Seth's cousin's wedding. they were still dancing at 11pm! (they didn't sleep in, of course, the next morning).

Sam absolutely loved dancing - if a group formed a circle, he would walk out into the middle and dance for them (he basically does little squats).

We were also extremely impressed by Elena. A week before the wedding, Seth and I had gone to the high school to help teach the kids how to dance for their upcoming play, Grease. The kids came along and watched. At the wedding dance a week later, we were amazed to see that Elena was grabbing other kids her size to dance with and started busting out some of our swing moves on the dance floor. That kid is so observant!

Sam, Papi and Alex - all in Thanksgiving plaid:

Elena with my cousin Frank and my Grandma. She celebrated her 99th birthday the day after thanksgiving!

Having a tickle fight with Frank (about 5 minutes after he told us that kids don't like him)

Sam looking dapper at Katie and Brian's wedding (he loved the stair railings)

This was the best shot we could get of the whole family.

You can see a little sampling of Sam's dance moves here, but it's not the best.
