The Most Expensive Halloween Costume Ever


Sophie has been in a dance and gymnastics class for 2 years. She really enjoys it because they alternate every week between tap and ballet, plus spend half the class in the gym. It is amazing what she can do, a forward roll on a full size balance beam, flipping over the uneven bars, even a psuedo cartwheel. (All with a spotter of course) She also likes the dance part, and this year will be her first recital. I never pictured my daughter in a dance recital, but here we go.....costume that costs WAY too much, pictures, videos and bouquets that you HAVE to have...you get the idea. But seeing how excited the girls got when they handed out the costumes last week was really priceless. The song they dance to is "Zippety Do Dah", and every night before bed she says "Wait, I have to do Zippety doda one time before I get in the tub" and she commences to do her rendition of their recital dance down the hall; it is really funny. Here is a photo (Thanks to Rebekah) from the costume try on day. From left to right: Katie, Sophie, Elizabeth and Leanne.

Can you guess what they will all be next Halloween?

Kel,

I am so glad you are checking on us. I agree, they want to meet you in person too. Hopefully this summer house at Lake Lanier will work out, we are looking forward to it! Love, AD
