Reagan's 1st Dance Performance!

This past September Reagan started taking dance classes with her best friend, McKella, who lives next door. This has been the most fun Reagan has ever had. She looks forward to dance class with Miss Liesel every monday. She loves wearing her dance outfit, putting on her dance shoes, and spinning around the house until it is time to go. If I would let her, she would wear her dance clothes all day long, but I'm not that nice.

After the last few months of these cute little three year olds practicing, they finally got to show off their new moves at their Christmas Recital. I have to admit that I didn't go in with very high expectations. After all, they are only 3 and had never been in an organized class of any kind, so what could they do on a stage that would look like a choreographed dance? Well, I was super surprised to see what they had been able to do in only a few short months.

Reagan's class did a dance to Jewel's version of Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer and it was so cute I about died! I took so many pictures and they all look the same, but they all did a fabulous job. I even got a "Hey, there's mommy!" from Reagan accompanied with a wave in the middle. It was great!

The only costume direction we had was a red, black, white, green or gold liatard with a red or green skirt. They said she could wear a christmas dress if we wanted, but I didn't feel that would be very fun for a Christmas Dance Recital. So Reagan got to wear one of her Christmas presents. I got her the tutu and she was in heaven! She looked great and had the time of her life spinning around in the thing. If you were to stop by randomly, you would probably find Reagan wearing her skirt around the house. It is that much fun. I have to admit, I love it too!

As I mentioned before, Reagan takes dance with her friend, McKella, who lives across the street. They are the best of friends. They love each other so much they can't help but fight. I think it is a disease between girls. They just can't help it. They want to be together all of the time, but when they are together they don't always get along. Such is the life of 3 year old girls. It is actually really fun to watch.

I have to say that it is so nice to have these two live so close and be friends. I think Reagan learns more by spending time with McKella than she could ever learn at home. McKella and Reagan are only 4 days apart and they are so similar it is crazy. They always want to play with the same things, purses, princess dresses, make-up, and such. They are total girls and I can't get enough of them both! And through it all they have nothing but love for eachother...

Here they are dancing their hearts out on the little stage. It was a packed house, and they didn't dissappoint.

Reagan had quite an audience all to herself, not only did she have Steve, Crew and I there to applaud her, she also had her Aunt Heidi and cousins Summer and Amelia there to cheer her on and she was so excited! Thanks for coming, guys!

Reagan was the cutest dancer there, in my opinion, and I had so much fun watching her! Thanks, sweetheart for always putting on a show and keeping us smiling and laughing! We love you!
