CAMDEN AS ELVIS...

My sister likes Elvis.  She was only about 5 when he died but for some reason she has been a fan of his for quite awhile.  For her BIG birthday (yes...she is a member of the club now), my parents hired an Elvis impersonator to come and do a little show.  I thought it would be cute to have Camden dress up like Elvis too as he loves costumes.  We really wanted him to sing but he seemed kind of scared to do that so we didn't push him.  However, one night I did teach him the words to the song Teddy Bear just in case he changed his mind.

Since I am of little value when it comes to sewing, I enlisted the help of my very talented cousin Jerryl to whip up a costume for him.  She, along with my other cousin Joye, sewed and bedazzled the cutest little thing you ever did see.  It even has a cape.  So adorable!!!


Camden was quite thrilled with his costume and I think a bit of Elvis was reincarnated in him when he put it on, as all of a sudden he wanted to sing.  The Elvis impersonator was very nice and let Cam come up and sing with him on Teddy Bear.  As a very biased audience, I have to say it was about the sweetest thing ever and amazing as well as he didn't really know the words that well. 

The bummer of the situation is that I can't upload the video Sam took of the whole song due to some extension file issues (very frustrating!!) but I do have just a few clips that will give you an idea of what you missed! :-)
