We Dance Anyway!

This is now Courtnie's 6th year of dancing.  This has been a BIG year for her though - she is doing her first solo and was selected to dance in the studio's elite team.  Competition days are long - we have to travel, we sit and watch far more often than she dances and sometimes we are running back and forth so often we forget what we're rushing around for.  Because of this, competition can go one of two ways... 1. The two of us enjoy our time together, we bond, we laugh, we snuggle while watching the others dancers perform and overall we are more best friends than mother-daughter, or 2. We fight. I didn't do her hair the right way, her costume feels funny, she can't find her shoes, she doesn't like her makeup, she's hungry, and we're both tired and grouchy.  Most times it plays out like #1, but sometimes #2 does happen.  But we still always cherish our time together.

Because of this pictures are hard to get.  So we have to complete the season taking pictures throughout each competition.  This is what we have so far.

Some of my pictures aren't loading, I'll have to keep trying!
