Just Dance

My girls...

seems like any extracurricular activity they're in...

Jon or me...right there as a coach, instructor...

Well, the girls went WAY outta their comfort zone.

Their sweet babysitter is a dancer.

Encouraged the girls to attend a dance clinic!

They were all pumped up to go, especially when they heard it was a Disney theme!

Laney...a few tears when I dropped her off

(we live like 1 mile away and Karlee has my number)

but...girl sure cheered up and was then EXCITED!

At the end of the clinic,  parents gotta check out the dance that the girls learned.

Laney...Karlee was one of her instructors...

girl knows how to shake her stuff!

Emily was in the next group.

Girl was quite nervous, but had a lotta friends in her group!

She knows her moves!

And later that night...

the girls got to preform at the high school basketball game!

Glitzed them all up...even put glitter in their hair!

They were a ball of nerves...especially Emily.

Ya, shed a few nervous tears before we went, but soon...very excited!

My parents met us over at the gym.

The girls were so excited for them to see their performances!

First up...Laney!

She did a great job!

Definitely helped that Karlee danced with her AND Laney was partners with her friend, Riley!

Emily danced in between games.

Emily...what a dancer!

And after?

Oh that girl was WAY excited that SHE ACTUALLY WENT OUT THERE AND DANCED!

Couldn't stop talking about it all...

and both girls want to dance next year!

A big thanks to Karlee for encouraging the girls to do something they've NEVER done before!

(Oh...notice the hair bows?  Karlee and her mom made matching ones for Karlee, Emily and Laney!  So awesome!)

The girls are still all smiles from dancing...

but Laney has something to smile a bit bigger about...

lost her 2nd bottom tooth this morning!

About 5 minutes after she woke up...

tooth was bleeding, ready to get outta there...

and Jon...just plucked it out!

AND...today while the girls and I baked cookies ....

gifted to us by my wonderful friend, Alyssa...

Hubs melted my heart.

He put out the heated water bowl.

(A MUST have for our critter and feathered friends.)

THEN...saw him working on this...

He installed an outdoor heating pad for Oscar the cat's home!

Is that awesome or what?

Oscar will soon think he's at the Ritz!

Hope he loves it!

Hubs...pretty much only did it for me...so sweet!

So ya...we had a great weekend!

The girls danced, Henry ate his weight in popcorn while watching his sisters preform, we all ate way too many yummy cookies and the outside animals have some early Christmas gifts.

Pretty.darn.good.weekend!
