Ballet

 The girls are finishing up ballet for the semester.  They've had a blast doing it and they've learned so much.  We've decided to go ahead and sign them up for next semester (in the 3 year old class, instead of the 2s) using some Christmas money that they get.  I can't believe how much they've learned in this short time!  Even Mya's learned a lot and repeats stuff at home and she spends the whole class on my back in my carrier!  And I can't forget my little handsome son.  He loves dance class too.  He just loves chasing the girls and watching them dance.  He's a total ham and has every mom in there wrapped around his little adorable finger!

They've been dancing to the Nutcracker songs the last few weeks and they've learned quite a few of the steps to the dances.  In fact I hear the big girls in the basement practicing their Nutcracker moves.  So we decided to get tickets to our local Nutcracker.  I took the two big girls and since the tickets were cheap, I decided that even if they didn't sit still through all of it, we could at least stay for the first half.

Well, they surprised me and sat great!  They absolutely loved watching the ballet and they are still talking about it.  I was in tears at the beginning, just in awe that I was sitting at the Nutcracker with two of my daughters.  It was so wonderful and such a sweet time with them.  

Look at that smile, think she enjoyed it?

She's constantly doing ballet moves like she saw!

Not letting go of their programs.
