Pypers got talent...

As part of our 4th of July celebrations, Grandma decided to have the 1st annual Pyper family talent show... And a show it was! Ben MC'd the event and all the grand kids had to come prepared to share a talent. Some of them were pretty impressive! :)

Everett started out the evening, accompanied by grandma, to a dance! And boy does he know how to shake it!

Elia even got in on the dance action. She couldn't help but shake it after she heard the piano music start!

Alex showed us his talent for playing the recorder...

And miss Sophie sang a song...

and jump roped!

That's two talents in one little girl folks! :) We are so proud to have her in the family!:)

Next up was Tucker (the best act of the night if I do say so myself) singing his favorite song, 'Baby Beluga'...

Kira showed off a beautiful drawing that she had drawn of the whole family!

Jonah's talent was somersaulting...

And of course, Tucker had to follow...

Josh plays some pretty mean drums on Guitar Hero (or Rock Band...I forget!)...

to which these three had a little dance party...

Teddy sang us the theme to 'Star Wars'...

on a side note: I have never seen a kid more obsessed with Star Wars than this child! While we were driving back from the beach we overheard this conversation:

Teddy(4): 'I have seen all of the Star Wars movies! The first one is when Luke gets his light saber! The second one is when princess Leia wears a bra...'

Noah(6): 'What's a bra?'

Teddy: 'oh it's just something that girls wear...'

The conversation continued about bras and Star Wars, but we were laughing too hard to hear the rest!

Anyway, back to the talent show!

Little Elia even got in on the talent show action with a little help from her older brother. He let her borrow his recorder! It was lovely-notice Teddy covering his ears in the background!! :)

Noah showed us his talent of fighting with a light saber! (He also recited a poem and showed us a scary face that was pretty impressive!) :)

But finally the talent show was over and the real Pyper talent came out when all of the children erupted into dance! You will notice in the sequence of pictures that the robot was done by all the kids! It was priceless! :)

Thanks for getting us all together to show off our talents Grandma, we had a great time!
