June 22, 2011 by 1 Comment
We had a wonderful night last night of fun playing Just Dance 2 and after we grown ups were done we let the kids take over. I captured some of their hijinks with my iPhone and have to say that I have never laughed so hard. It also leaves me wondering if we need to pay for dance lessons.

So as much as I have been wanting to make cupcakes, I just haven't given in because of just plain pure laziness.
