Prima Ballerina

Well I suppose it is time to blog a bit again. Not to much to say... mostly because it is late at night and my brain has mostly shut down! LOL. Thought I would try something new and do a picture slide show..... it is still uploading my photos though... LOL... maybe they were a bit to big eh??

Well as some of you know Amalyssa is taking a ballet class. She just had her first competition! They were invited to a competition taking place at Lagoon on May 10th. It was optional to go but we decided since we were already shoveling money into this class she might as well have the chance to preform as much as she could! So we took a family day to Lagoon!! Only 2 other girls in her class of 8 came to the competition so there were three of them up on stage in front of maybe a thousand or so people!!! She was pretty scared when we first got there but we had to wait a while for her tams turn and watching all the other dancers got her excited. She was the BEST ballerina up there!! (no prejudice involved of course!!! LOL) She got up on stage and went to ready position and waited like a statue for the music to start... the other two were dancing around and waving and stuff. They all really did a wonderful job and Amalyssa was so excited when she came down off the stage! We got the results this last Wednesday in her dance class. Everyone who participated at Lagoon got a 'national championships' metal. AND she got a 2nd place ribbon!!!! WOOT! Now.... I don't have ANY idea how many teams they were competing against... or how the judging works in that category.... but HEY... it is a 2nd place ribbon!! They also gave out little stuffed elephants with the studio logo on the t-shirt to all the girls. Amalyssa was pretty excited about it!

Here are some picts to show off our little star!
