MOVE Competition

Wowza. Lainey had her first dance competition yesterday, and my goodness. What an experience. For both Lainey and Mom. :) 

Lainey's favorite part of the entire experience was performing on stage. She LOVED it. And I have to hand it to her, that girl smiled the entire time and really turned it on for the audience. I am proud of her and her little team. They have worked hard!

We could not have done without Aunt Risa. She's Morgan's aunt, Marisa, and she helped the girls with their makeup and hair. She did Lainey's hair because I couldn't do it and Lainey was crying because I kept poking her with bobby pins. :) Anyway, thank you Marisa...so grateful for your expertise!!

The scene in the dressing room. It was so hard to keep those girls from snagging their tights and messing up their hair! They had to keep it together for about 2-1/2 hours!

Emiliana...and look! Her dad did her hair! I'm very impressed. He could have done Lainey's hair!

The amazing Aunt Marisa and her niece, Morgan. :)

A last-minute practice before heading to the stage.

AND, we are home. After a very frustrating drive home (lots of construction and traffic and a wrong turn...eeeeek) and a severe bout of carsickness (in the bumper-to-bumper traffic without an available exit)...Lainey fell asleep in Frisco. About five minutes from home. ;)

And, here's my cute boy. I had missed this little turkey! I was cleaning out the car (after Lainey had vomited) and turned around to find this...Walker, on his belly in the driveway, reading a Thomas pamphlet and talking about all the trains he sees. He loves his trains. :)
