Holiday Magic

Saturday was Meredith's premier as a ballerina! Her dance class did a performance at Holiday Magic, an annual marketplace of little booths full of holiday gift-type items.

The first time I observed Meredith's dance class back in August, she hardly moved - she just seemed overwhelmed by all the parents watching. But each month, we have had another opportunity to observe again and she has gotten more and more animated. Last week they actually showed us this dance and she just lit up everytime she did the moves. So, I was hopeful that she would be excited to really perform, but who knows with a three-year-old, right? Luckily, she was all smiles the whole time and did a great job remembering the moves (or remembering to watch the teacher to tell her which moves to do!) I was so proud of how great she did! I didn't get many pictures of her performing really because I was working the video camera, so I am posting that too!

Meredith and Maddie being silly before they performed! We are so blessed because we were taking dance with sweet Maddie and then learned that they would be in the same preschool class together too! Meredith has loved having Maddie with her at school and dance.

Holly Jolly Christmas performed by some really cute preschool girls - enjoy!
