Multi-stake New Year's Eve dance

Ada has enjoyed the multi stake dances this year.  It was my turn to chaperone, so I went and hung out. These teenagers have an infectious energy.  They are fun to watch interact and dance and play.  Ada looked beautiful.  Usually I don't like black dresses, (on Ada they look nice, but they make her paler than she usually looks) but the theme was the black and gold ball.  Kooper and Xeno caught a ride with us. 

There were some very weird things that I never saw at stake dances growing up.  About half of the kids actually dressed for a ball.  About a fourth of them wore sweatshirts and jeans.... and the last fourth wore weird things.  I saw a guy with a beard in a dress, nylons and high heels (even my daughter and I hate nylons!), I saw some cosplayers (one was a John Lennon look alike), I saw some guys in very tight pants and corsets, and I saw lots of very revealing dresses.... low backs and spaghetti straps or very short like cheerleader skirts. I don't know what dress standards a Multi-stake dance is supposed to have since this is my first one since I was a youth, but it was crazy. 

I got to shoot confetti above the teens at 11:00.

The balloon drop didn't work, so they lowered the balloons and everyone popped them and pulled them out of the bag.

Then we came to the Robertson's for the end of the night.
