The Ballerinas

Patty made these adorable tutus and I thought it would be fun to take some ballerina pictures of our little girls. We used the dining room at my parents house and a pole from the closet. I think it was cute, even though the lighting wasn't so good, the girls weren't cooperating & the pole wasn't long enough.
Introducing
THE BALLERINAS:
AUBREY, NAOMI & MACKENZIE
THE TYPICAL ROUTINE--
Being a ballerina requires a lot of dedication and hard work to keep up with the rigorous dance moves that it involves. Remember to always stretch before beginning your training.
As you can see from the picture below Naomi has began warm-up with stretching, while Mackenzie and Aubrey do a little meditation.


After meditating...Aubrey and Mackenzie decide that it's best if they do some stretching before getting started.

The typical touch your toes warm-up works great for Aubrey

While leg extension works best for Mackenzie.

Finally, the girls are ready to demonstrate some of their classic steps:
A very elegant move by Naomi

Aubrey joins in by continuing with the classic moves in the next two pictures:
Bravo!!
Unfortunately Mackenzie began experiencing a rare case of stranger-anxiety and did not want pictures taken. Her manager/mom decided to intervene. Seconds later or maybe before that Naomi decided she too had had enough and no longer participated in the shot. Aubrey, decided to steal the spot light!

Finally, a kiss for all the fans!

Wow this is a long update. You're busy! I love the pictures of you and Mackenzie. So awesome! I really like the welcome home t-shirts. I saw them on facebook too. What a brilliant idea and the perfect welcome home for a missionary. He is loved. You have a nice big family.

It was fun working with the few good/funny pictures we had. I was going to send you the pictures I had worked on but I'm glad to see that you already have them. I was gonna add a couple of the ones where Naomi and Mackenzie are crying but I guess I deleted them because I couldn't find them. Oh well.

Cute idea. The dialogue was pretty cute too. :) Too bad the girls weren't a little more cooperative. :)
