Happy Ballerinas

So Emma's gift request was a "dancing suit." The girls sometimes (especially on rainy days) jam out in our living room, as it is the only place we can play music and it's a big tile floor. One of their favorite things at home was our massive dress-up collection, so they were really missing their garb... Nothing of the kind is available in our city, but when I took Laney to the dentist in November a friend was kind enough to take me to a whole shop of dance apparel. For $10 I got Em and her sisters entire performance costumes (complete with accessories like fake pearls and gloves from the 2 Kuai). They were so thrilled that, while Matt and I were wearing coats and gloves, they immediately shed their warm jammies to don the new duds and show off their moves. Emma was especially funny with her new Traditional Ethnic moves!
(Above is NOT one of them!)

Some freestyle fun...

Mixing in her b-ball skills with her new ball in her favorite color...


Ah, the image of grace...

Little One-Arm needed some assistance. Matt's hat is a special tribute to all our Brooklynn friends!!! (I have a pink one... Matt wanted a plain hat but the selection is pretty wild. They take whatever logos they can find and turn up with some crazy conglomerants. Like "Raccoon Club" "A & F" "Canadian Water Wheel Association" and "VonDutch" all on the same hat...)
