Dancing in the Moonlight 09'

Well friends, Winter Formal has come and gone and it was
F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Friday night we went to the basketball game.
(Westwood won! Holler!)
Then to Haley's house for s'mores.
On Saturday we played Bigger or Better.
We split into two teams, and each team was given a paper clip. Then we went from house to house asking our neighbors if they had something bigger or better that they would like to trade us. The team with the Biggest or Best thing wins!
The other team won with a rockin horse and as punishment, we had to go back to the house they got it from and dance around the horse singing:
"Ride ride ride that pony.
Get up on that big fat pony.
Ride ride ride that pony,
This is how we do it."
While someone rode the horse.
That was...uh special.
Anywho, we dropped off the boys and went home and got ready.
Then we picked them up again and went to take pictures at the Wright House. My amazing sister Emily, obliged to being our photographer!
Once we finished smiling till our faces hurt we headed into dinner which was also at the Wright House.
(Thank you Skipper, for making it happen, you're the best!)
Everyone brought part of the meal and our main dish was Tortilini made my Kair's parents!
YUMMMMM!!!!
Story:
While we were waiting for our food, there was music playing and our tables didn't take up much space so there was quite a bit of dance floor. I knew there wouldn't be very many slow dances at the actual dance, so Ty and I had our own!
All alone on our own little dance floor...until they started taking pictures of us because we looked
"adorable."

After dinner, we went to the Christmas lights at the temple to kill time.
(We refuse to be on time for dances.)
Since it was so cold we spent the majority of the time inside the visitors center watching videos, talking to missionaries etc.
Finally, around nine, we headed over to the dance and partied like it was 1999.
Afterwards, we went to Mary's and ate snacks and played games.
Basically, it was the best night of my life!!!!
I L-O-V-E gazebos!!!!

A Question, an Answer, and a...Cake to the Face????

Well, 62% of you were correct:
I asked Tyler to Winter Formal!
I needed a fun way to ask him so Abigail and Avery graciously agreed to help out their Aunt Nat!!!
They sang Jingle Bells and gave him a cake with
Winter Formal???
written on it.
Baked into the cake were the letters of my name.
My handy-cake decorating skills!

This is what happens when obnoxious boys are around!

What a good sport!!!
Thanks Mary for the pictures!!!
I was so sad I had to wait in the car!!!

Well, the story doesn't end there.
A week later, I'm at the church for mutual and a girl from my stake walks in saying
"Natalie, this is for you"
And hands me a container full of ice cream and a paper that says
"I'd love to be the ice cream with your cake, but first you need to thaw me out."
So I put it under hot water and dug through the ice cream till I found a ziploc bag with a paper inside that was blank except for "fire" in little letters.
So I took it home, burnt it and the letters
"Y-E-S"
showed up!!!
(He used lemon juice.)
Happy Day!!!

What else is happy???
I'm going to see New Moon in one hour!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!
