Ally's performance of the Nutcracker went beautifully. She did so well and had a blast dancing again. Actually, she enjoyed herself so much that she is now taking lyrical ballet and modern jazz classes and has been invited to join the competitive dance team at the studio. Even Bella in getting into the act. She now takes ballet class and thinks that she is just a perfect ballerina. She is just a sight in her little leotard and ballet skirt.
The girls are still in gymnastics. In fact we just had a meet last Sunday. Ally did GREAT!!!! She finished 2nd out of 7 and was only .2 behind the 1st place girl. Bella forgot one of her tricks and received 5th place out of 7. If she would have added the extra trick she would have also had 2nd place. Whatever the case Bella was just as happy with what she got. Our next meet is on Sunday, February 8th in Bloomingdale. If anyone is interested in attending let me know. Ally is also working on getting ready for competing all events in gymnastics next year. It is a lot of work, but she is doing a wonderful job. She can do a round off back handspring without a spot and is a FABULOUS vaulter. This is very encouraging for her. Lets not forget Ms. Bella who can almost do a perfect cartwheel. Tony and I are so proud of our girls.
Speaking of Tony he and I spent our break together making a wine cabinet for our front room. I think it turned out pretty good for our first try at making furniture. What do you think? We worked really hard to get this done. Tony had the most beautiful plans drawn out and things went pretty much according to plan. Now we just neet to fill it up.
So this is pretty much life in the Lira house in a nut shell. I hope to write more soon. Maybe something a little more exicting? Love and blessings to all.
