FANTASY FROST DANCE PERFORMANCE

Hope and Halle had their Christmas dance concert on Saturday, and it was the cutest thing to see! Hope performed here last year, so she kind of knew the run around of things and was able to help watch out for Halle, since this was Halle's 1st time! I wasn't sure how Halle would do on stage all by herself, but she did GREAT! They actually combined a couple of classes together for this one dance, which they had never practiced with everyone, so i was curious to see how Halle would handle it (all the people, the lights and being on stage for the 1st time) and what she would do...? She just danced and a couple of times bumped into people and then would look around like how did they get there?... it was cute. It almost looked at one time like she was doing a little solo, she was definitely comfortable and in her own world! Hope did a GREAT job too, they combined her class too with others and had never practiced it that way. Her tap shoe actually came off during her dance, but she handled it like a pro... just kept tapping and then when the dance was over slid the shoe on, no hands needed! Hope and Halle had only been taught the dance 2 dance classes before the performance... so i was amazed that they were able to remember any of it. I guess it really doesn't matter what they do on stage they always look so dang cute! Hope the other day told Justin and I that she didn't want to go to dance class anymore... so i asked her why? She said, "Because i just want to be on stage!" Hahah... Justin told her "Well, you have to go to dance class to learn and practice, before you can go on stage." Hope's a funny girl, and hasn't complained again!

Santa was at the Heritage Center where their concert was held at, so after we got a picture taken... i was surprised we got one with all of them smiling!

Santa asked the girls what they wanted and Halle said candy... she probably saw the candy canes sitting next to him... and thought candy not "What do you want for Christmas?" Hope blurted out a reindeer... probably because there was reindeer next to him... and Santa kind of stumbled and said "Well i'm not sure i can give you one because we use real reindeer's at the north pole, and i'm not sure the elves can make a real one, but we will see what the elves can make (at least i think that's what he said)!" So, once we were in the car Hope looked a little sad, so i asked her what was wrong? She wanted to know if that was the real Santa Claus and she didn't mean to say that she wanted a reindeer, she thought a toy one, and anyways was worried about what he thought. So, i told her Santa knows what you meant and what's in your heart. I told ya she is one funny girl and my little Halle would trade anything for gum or candy!

Oh, I love that picture. That is so great that they are all smiling. Especially when a lot of little kids are scared of Santa. LOL What a great accomplishment! Your girls are so pretty. They are definately yours.
