Dance, Dance, Dance

Another dance season is complete. (Insert sigh of relief - SIGH.) It was fun while it lasted and yet, I am relieved to have it done and over with. Bailey was in one class and I moved MacKenzie up to join Alexis' class. I decided to enroll them on a Tuesday night this year. Daddy was already gone to the church for his responsibilities there so I didn't want to do it on Thursday to take another possible day away from the family. Although, Thursday's would have been much easier on me because Josh would have been around a lot more to help and juggle the schedule, I felt it was more important to keep those family days instead.

So, for Tuesdays, it was homework, make a portable dinner, get everyone ready, Daddy's dinner set out, load up and go. We would drop off Bailey to her class and then head to one of three parks in the area to eat dinner. Then we would load back up and switch out MacKenzie and Alexis for Bailey. We would then again head to one of three parks and Bailey would get to eat. Of course, playing at the park was a given once food was finished. Then once again, back to dance class to pick up the two girls, home and a mad rush (usually with a lot of me yelling) to get everyone ready and in bed. Once the kids were in bed on Tuesdays, I would just crash onto the couch myself. Ahhhh!

The dance performance was fun. The girls did such an amazing job. The theme this time was "At the Movies". Every dance was performed to a song from a movie. Here are a few highlights of the girls' dances.

Bailey ready for dance number 1 - It was the end song from Sleeping Beauty (that is why some of the girls are in pink and some are in blue)
Can I say that I just LOVE this picture?!?
I think I am going to crop it and enlarge it so I can frame it for her some day.


MacKenzie ready for dance #1 - The theme song from Kung Fu Panda
Alexis also ready for dance #1
Lucky for us they were right next to each other in the dance so it was easy to get pictures of these two together. Daddy did an awesome job as photographer for the day. Thanks Babe!!!

Arianna even loved being there with all the girls. Look at these smiles!!!

After intermission it was on to dance #2 - Bailey had Funky Town - Chipmunk style (Have I ever mentioned that Funky Town is my all time favorite song - Don't know why, just is!!!)

Dance #2 for Alexis & MacKenzie was Dance of the Sugar Plum princess, I forget which movie she took it from, but it was also in Fantasia.




Our three dance stars with their awards certificates
Our good friends the Browns...
and the Smiths were there for their girls as well.
The Parkinson's were also there, but somehow we didn't capture a photo of them. Glad to have good friends to share things like this with. It was fun seeing you all there!!
