Natalie turns 16 next week. There is a Christmas Dance 2 days after her birthday and she has been really hoping to get asked to it. Well, tonight at 7:00 pm just as I was leaving for Jake's concert the doorbell rang and there was a Christmas tree sitting there. I hurried and put it in Natalie's room. Later, when Natalie came home there was wrapping paper all rolled up and a candy cane with Natalie name on it sitting at the front steps. Two boys asked her within 1 hour of each other!!!!! Then the drama began..... Natalie was so excited to be asked but very traumatized at the same time to turn one of the boys down. They are both nice boys and she is friends with both. She could not focus or function for about 2 hours because she was so indecisive as what to do. She finally decided the best thing to do was accept the invitation of the first. She still really wants to go out with the other boy too and she hopes he will ask her out again. John and I told her if she doesn't date at all it would solve everything. She didn't like that answer. Above are pictures of how she was asked and how she responded.

I LOVE IT!!!! The boy LOVE Natalie! I can't wait to hear how the date went! Congratulations on catching the attention of so many boys!
That is so funny! So, is it formal? What will she wear?
Great story! Natalie is so popular! I can't believe how much thought is put into these dance invitations and acceptances. Emily you need to keep a binder to pass on when my kids are dating age.
Now all she's got to worry about is the dress! This will be fun following Natalie's teenaged dating drama. Could she start a private blog so we all can read the nitty gritty details.
I remember my own drama very well and tell her to keep a journal because when you are a mom and feeling kind worn out just five minutes of reading will have your rolling on the floor laughing!
