In December, Nicholas attended his first formal dance, but the story goes back a bit...

Our family celebrates
Football Saturdays (or
Sundays, or even
Mondays) once a month with two other families that we know from school. We started doing this back in September (I think?) and kept it going all fall. Each
Football Day was potluck, and had its own theme; Mexican, Italian, favorite finger foods, etc. We rotate homes each month so that it's not so taxing on anyone (but it does guarantee that our house is super cleaned once a month).

Well, one of the families happens to be the family of Nicholas'
shmirl-friend (we were not allowed to say
girlfriend, at least at first), Jon and Kari, and
shmirl's name is Caroline (oddly enough). On the
football day at their home, the kids were in the playroom playing on their Wii, and Casanova Nicholas bravely popped the question. On a quick break from the game, Nicholas simply remarked,
Hey, you want to go to the Jingle Bell Ball with me? Caroline's face turned bright red and her mouth gasped open...but I think somewhere in there she said yes. To alleviate some of the pressure, they decided to invite the whole 5th grade (or so it seemed)! They only got a few girls to go along, but hit the jackpot with the boys! Nicholas must have been very persuasive...

Off we go to purchase the $50.00 tickets (per person), but fortunately the proceeds went to a charitable campaign.
The rest, as they say, just might be history...
