Dance Party



OK, blog readers. Few of you as there are this was one of my favorite memories of 2009. When we first started planning Lawson's 2nd birthday party I was thinking along the lines of a fireman party. We live within 200 yards of the neighborhood fire department and Lawson's interest in fire trucks has grown over the past year. However, Wade had a different plan all together (as you can imagine). That began our grand plans for a dance party. Lawson loves music and instruments and yes, dancing.
We decided early on that the basic party invitation wasn't going to do. Given our obvious era for early rap we decided to rewrite Vanilla Ice's, Ice Ice Baby. Below is what we came up with:

Let's stop! Celebrate, no dissin
Jax is back with his brand new addition,
Lawson! Gotta b-day in December,
Twelve twelve every year, It's easy to remember
Throw down! Honky tonk it's a party
Sunday the 6th at 4 it gets started
Cake! Balloons, & juice boxes,
Don't come late cause we'll all be rockin...

No Dairy Ice Cream at da Lombard's, da Lombard's
No Dairy Ice Cream at da Lombard's, da Lombard's


So, we invited the cousins to the house and told them to dress up as a rapper, boy band member, or rocker. The result was hilarious. We had a name that tune game, a kiddy mosh pit, and called it Lawson's Double Dip Dance Party. We called it Double Dip because everything that was served could be dipped in one of several dipping sauces. It was a blast and the kids loved.

We ended our time with Lawson's favorite all time song, We Will Rock You by Queen. He loved...so, we loved it.
