New Years

This year for new year's Allan and I went dancing, of course! What else would we do? Allan had two performances at First Night downtown with the Salt Lake Jitterbugs. They had a pretty good turnout and did a great job, despite the freezing weather. Allan is SO fun to watch. He's a natural performer.

We then went to The Depot to dance to the live music of Royal Crown Revue, a new-swing band. I've decided I like new-swing in small doses. It was still fun though. We also competed in the competition that night. We took 4th place. Our prize was $30 off a tattoo. We gladly gave that away. 

The competition was hard because I hate competing, but I did it. I didn't look at the judges for the most part so I did ok, but then at the end, I saw them and kind of freaked out. Oh well. I'll just have to do a better job next time. Below is a picture of some of the competitors and judges. We had a great time dressing up and dancing.

Speaking of dressing up, Allan looks so dang good in his zoot suit. And I had so much fun getting my vintage look on. I LOVE red lipstick and the winged liquid eyeliner. I've included pictures below. I remind myself of Marilyn Monroe with my makeup and short blonde hair. We were smokin'! ;)

At the stroke of midnight, we kissed, danced one more song and then went home. We were home and in bed before 1:00 a.m. We were so exhausted that we just went home and went to bed. I think we're getting old. Ha! :)
