tu-tu's and twirling

I find it fascinating how a day off can be busier than a normal work day! How is it 10:30 at night and I am just sitting down to blog?! Something seems wrong with this picture!

Today I am thanking the Lord for good christian friends! Last night Greg, Makaela and I went out to Jeremy and Cheryl's with Tim and Jen and baby Michael! Besides the AMAZING prime rib roast .... (mmmmmm)... our time together was filled with dancing around in tutus and learning how to twirl like a ballerina!

Jeremy and Cheryl's girls, Alexandrea and Raeanna, LOVE ballet! Ever since Makaela was born, Alex has been DREAMING of the day that she could start teaching Makaela how to do ballet. A few weeks ago at church, Alex came up to me and whispered in my ear, "I believe that Makaela is now ready to learn ballet". (exact words!) So when we showed up at the door, there was Alex dressed from head to toe in her ballet 'gear'. And on went the tu-tus! I should have brought my camera! Even Greg pranced around and taught Alex how NOT to do ballet!

Turns out Alex had BIG plans for my 14 month old! She thought Mak would be on her tip toes and twirling like a star with the 5 min lesson she gave her! Well to say the least... I do not have a ballet star as of yet! Although she does know how to Plié... (yes, I had to look up the spelling!!!).
I paid little Alexandrea $2.00 for her efforts and assured her that M would be practicing at home!!!! (she's strict what can I say!!) I simply LOVE that girl! and Greg... don't quit your day job! :)
