For Sammy's 11th birthday, we had a 50's Sock Hop and invited her friends to have dinner with us at Big Al's Diner (our kitchen).
Everyone arrived wearing poodle skirts and rolled-up jeans. Cute! I wore skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and a pony tail with a hot pink ribbon tied in it. I took on the persona of "Midge" (co-owner of the diner and Big Al's wife). Jonathan was such a great sport. He dressed up, helped set things up, decorated, and played the part of the waiter named "Mel" who took the girls' orders at the restaurant. Mike was willing to grill the hot dogs and wear a name tag labeling him as "Big Al". (The girls got a kick out of calling him Al.)
The menu included the following items:Hot Dog 20¢
Cheese Dog 25¢
French Fries 15¢
Chips 10¢
Mac-n-Cheese 15¢
Root Beer Float 10¢
Orange Float 10¢
The cake was a rare choice (based on my history of elaborately decorated "shape cakes"). I baked jumbo cupcakes, frosted them, added sprinkles, and put a cherry on top so they would look like little ice cream sundaes.

DARLING! What games did you play? I love her outfit... looks just like the skirt and polkadot scarf I did for my girls for Halloween. So cute! I love the JUMBO cupcakes idea... and easy too. Way fun. Say Hi to "big Al" for me. And did you take any pictures of the rest of you dressed up?
