Dot's Sock Hop

On Saturday November 7 we had a 60th birthday party for Grandma Dottie. Her birthday was actually October 30 but this was the day that everyone could get together. The party was a 50's theme and everyone dressed up (my husband was a party pooper though and wore his t-shirt and shorts). We had the party at Dena's house. There were lots of decorations and the owners of Inside Scoop came and made malts and milkshakes for the guests as they were arriving. Then Don and Dave made hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill and fried french fries in our turkey fryer. Connor was on trash patrol and clean up as usual-he did not want to dress up either because that would interfere with his ability to work. Cayden0-who was only partially in costume because he wanted to wear shorts and flip flops-about made himself sick eating 2 milkshakes, 2 hotdogs, lots of fries and then the ever delightful bundt cake. Caleb mingled by the milkshake stand and Cody just hung out. I spent hours the week before working on a 50's Jeopardy game. Some of the guests were worried that they would not know any of the answers to the questions but I ran most the questions by my mom first to make sure that they weren't too hard. She thought they were good. It worked out well even though it seemed that I had to yell to make myself heard. I hate having to do stuff like that though because I feel like such a dork. We had a good turn out. Uncle Tom, grandma's brother, came from Pioche as well as grandpa's brother Ken and his wife Suzy and grandpa's sister Diane and her husband Felix. Aunt Dawna and Uncle Robert were on a cruise that had been planned for a long time before the party was planned so they could not come. There are no pictures with this post because Darbie took most of the pictures and she uploaded them to Snapfish and I don't know how to get them from Snapfish to the blog. It's ok though I look like crap as usual-I would have looked like crap in the 50's apparently too.
