    - could you make it into the ball at your store?! Ours was so crowded I could just peer over heads into the dancing section :( And then it was so packed around the activities table, we couldn't do that either, and even though there was a huge selection of HP and FB stuff, it was packed like sardines to look. Boooooo, sad face...200_s.gif
