Dancing with the Stars

No, it's not some pissy link to a dodge TV show - I certainly wouldn't want Darryl Sommers to think he was worth it... It's my nieces!

Well, as "The Good Aunt" and "The Good Uncle", we attended our first Ballet experience at our nieces' end of year concert on Saturday night. What can I say? It was absolutely gorgeous!

And, to top it off, how proud we are of the dancing two - they both took home a trophy for their work! A perpetual one at that! I believe Sam (the girls' mum) told Emma as soon as she was given the trophy that she'll have to give it back next year - I don't think that Emma thought that idea was too crash hot, as she said "I don't want to dance next year - because I don't want to give any trophies back". Ohhh, butter wouldn't melt!

But, both girls were very excited about their awards (as were Mum & Dad, Nana & Pa, Grandma & Pop, and Uncle Damo & Aunty Mish), and proudly posed for the photo below.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get them in their costumes, but, Emma's last outfit was as a 'teddy bear' for here Teddy Bears' Picnic ballet (hence the nose and whiskers), and Sarah's was a very pretty tutu for her ballet.

Well, the girls certainly did clean up, and performed very well, and definately made us very proud of them.


All we can say girls, is "Congratulations", and that we very much look forward to next years dancing as well!
