Ballerinas in Training

My girls are so in love with ballet and gymnastics right now. They have the book on the Nutcracker Ballet and became slightly obsessed over Christmas. I was looking for swimsuits the other day and found all of these ballet/dance outfits that we got from their cousins. I was shocked to find the outfits fit since they are size 4/5. Such tall little goobers...

So I spent the rest of the afternoon dressing them, and re-dressing them, and re-dressing them. They wore every outfit for about an hour. :) I turned on music and let them dance away. They had a blast! Before these pictures, they were singing Jingle Bells while twirling and jumping. Lilly is wearing the purple...

Big hug for Mommy...


A lot of the pictures were slightly blurry, so I tried to edit them for fun. I can't get over how sweet these girls are...



They practiced gymnastics in their room...Lilly would prop her body up on the bar of the bed and try to hold her legs out behind her. She figured out how to do it first, so she showed Lexi how to do it.
She REALLY tried to help Lexi...good thing they flipped onto a bed when they went too far. :)
Strong Lilly...
Ballet kick...or karate?
Either way, I think they will have a fun time with all their lessons this summer.
