Cotillion~Hollywood Blast From the Past!!

This past Sunday was the Cotillion costume event and the theme was "Hollywood~Blast From the Past".  We knew we had the perfect costume...hanging in our coat closet:)  It was a suit that belonged to Travis's dad.  He wore it in a family Olan Mills picture back when Travis was tiny.  It is NICE!!

So, we decided Blake could wear the suit and go as John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever.  Of course we had to get a black wig.  The boys had fun playing around with it on Sunday morning.

Obviously:)
 Evan, what can I say?
 And drumroll........THE SUIT!!!  Yes, some of my college friends will recognize it as the suit that Travis wore to Trash Disco at OPO one night:)  Ha!!
 There were some really great costumes.  Mason won the costume contest in his Ghostbusters costume.  Super cute!!
 Of course, there was dancing.  This time they learned a swing dance.  Blake caught on really quickly, and actually looked pretty good.   All of the girls took off 1 shoe and the boys had to pick a shoe and that is who they partnered with.  The funniest part-he had NO IDEA what the girl's name was that he danced with!!
 They all had to take a turn coming to the microphone and saying their name, what they were dressed up as, and something about someone new that they had met earler.
 Blake and the girl he walked to the refreshment line.  Again, he has no idea who she is.  Anyone recognize her??
This was another successful Cotillion.  Blake really does like it.  I'm so glad.  It's painful enough for me for both of us!!!
