Let the Competition Season Begin

Wow, what a busy, busy weekend.  McKinley had her first dance competition of the season.  We woke up at 6 AM.  Yes, 6 AM on a Saturday.  By 7:30 she had on full make-up and eyelashes.  I know you are thinking Toddlers in Tiaras, right?  Well we are not that bad. I am not that dramatic.  Sometimes I feel like I am not cut out to be a dance mom.  She had on more make-up than I would use in a week.  We loaded up and headed to Bolivia which is about 20 miles from Wilmington.  By 8:30 we were there watching our Mini dancers do their routine.

Don't Worry, Be Happy!

All of the girls did great.  They all looked great and did their best.  We got two platinum awards and two high gold awards.  Overall everyone did great for the first competition of the season.  McKinley's hat for her solo was a little too much.  It was very heavy so we have to work on another hat before the next competition.  It wasn't very cooperative when she did her back flip. 

I am so proud of my little dancer.  She loves it and it shows when she performs on stage!  Keep up the good work, McKinley!
