fairytale ballet

So Lyza has found a new love...it comes arounds once a week and she loves every minute of it. Her new love is called "Fairytale Ballet." It is a little ballet class that she goes to where they learn about and dress up like a different "Fairytale" character each week. Lyza basically has died and gone to heaven. Here is a picture of her new little dance studio. She loves her teacher Ms. Bethany and is so excited to talk to her each week.

Here is their first week in class where they read about and dressed up like Mulan! Lyza had no clue who Mulan was at this time...but she didn't care! And you know we had to go home and watch the Mulan movie as soon as class was over.

The next week they added a few accessories to the Mulan costume.



Here they all are dressed up like the 7 Dwarf. I asked Lyza which Dwarf she was and she said "I don't know, but I know I wasn't Dopey." They all looked so darn cute!


This week had to be a highlight for Lyza. She was so excited to dress up like Snow White.

This week they dressed up like the Wicked Queen from Snow White, but Lyza wouldn't keep her costume on for pictures.


Here is the final week of this session of the class. They got to dress up like Snow White one more time. All of the little girls in the class are so darling and get so excited to see each other.

I have been very impressed with the things Lyza has learned from this ballet class. She learned some ballet terminology and has mastered her pose'. Lyza's favorite move is making "bunny ears" with her feet.
She is excited for the next session to start...we will have to see who they get to dress up like this time?

What a fun dance class. Lyza is going to be just like her Mom! I just put Avaree in a gymnastics class but she doesn't quite get it. She just runs around.

I showed Thomas these pictures and his comment was..."I want to dance like a princess too!" um..NO..sorry kiddo. Let's go find your cowboy boots. Anyways, Lyza looks adorable and it just goes to show that Lyza could get Thomas to do anything! We miss you guys.
