Bellevue Stake * Dance Festival* March 2012

In two short months our ward learned a rockin' Swing routine to Sing, Sing, Sing!  Lori Hunt made our beautiful costumes and we got lots of rave reviews!  We met the rest of the 300 youth of the Bellevue Washington Stake at Bellevue College at 3:30 and rehearsed until our performance at 7 pm.  The gym was packed and we had a great time bringing the house down!

All Our Swinger Girls: Jenna, Amanda, Kaelyn, Chloe, Sarah, Emma, Emily, Sydney, Ava & Lia

Valentine Party with Bellevue 1st

On Wednesday, February 8, 2012, the Bellevue 1st Ward youth invited the Bellevue 6th Ward Youth to a magnificent event at the Fox home in Medina.  

The young men made a delicious dinner and fancy dessert to serve to the young women.  We enjoyed a gorgeous view of the Bellevue skyline city lights and water, complete with a gorgeous full moon.  The youth enjoyed meeting new friends and spending a wonderful evening together.  Thank you so much, Bellevue 1st Ward!

Beautiful table decorations!
