Big Band Boogie Ball

There is a 21 year tradition here in Greeley to hold the "Big Band Boogie Ball". It is at held at UNC (University of Northern Colorado). Doug helped to organize and participate in this fabulous event. Several volunteers and the boosters club helped set up and decorate the Ballroom. The boosters club collected donated gift baskets to auction off as part of a fundraiser:

Since this is such a big tradition here they always get a fabulous turnout. They had more than 500 people come to dance it up on the dance floor. They had several different Jazz bands perform. This included 3 of Doug's Jazz Bands, "Kream of the Krop" (a local Jazz Band), and 3 of the middle schools had their Jazz band perform. They also had a professional sound DJ. What a wonderful event to hold near Valentines Day. Here is one of Doug's Jazz Bands that performed....Jazz 1:

I am looking forward to attending this event with Doug in the future. I didn't attend this year because of me being so pregnant, not having a dress, and not getting a babysitter. Maybe in a few years....

Way fun...next year! I had to go to Marine corp ball two weeks before Makayla was born and I was in a hideous maternity formal. Nothing cute about it! By the way where did you get your adorable baby count down on your blog? I might want to copy you!
Oh, and I love your new picture of the kids!
