My Talented Kiddos!

Paige and Maddie had a dance competition on March 29th and I have to say that I pretty much have the best little dancers around! Paige has been in dance for awhile and done many competitions so she's used to the nerves and crowd watching as she performs. Maddie, on the other hand, did a half-year of dance when she was about 2 and was freaked out the whole time just being in the class but now she's on the competative dance team too and all I can say is that I was very nervous for her. Now I'm not saying Maddie isn't a great little dancer (because she's got some moves that make Paul and I laugh so hard and rival her big sister) but she is the more reserved and shy child - at first anyway - while Paige is very open and friendly and will be your friend in about 2 seconds. Maddie's group was up first. Paul had the camera out and ready to roll and I was sitting there holding my breath just waiting for Maddie to run off stage about 3 seconds after she walked in front of the crowd. Well, I had nothing to worry about! Maddie was basically a little pro out there and was so super cute!!! I can't believe how great she did on her very first time dancing in front of a big crowd!! Paige came out afterwards and did her dances too. She did great as usual and we were so proud of her - she's always working that crowd. She even knew right were we where in the crowd and smiled our camera basically for her whole dance. Maddie's group did one dance and Paige's did two but the second dance got cut off early due to 2 little girls trying to watch the tape without asking for help in rewinding so we'll get it again on the next go-round.
To make the day even more exciting and fun was the awards they won. Maddie's group won the "A" is for Adorable and 1st overall for her age division plus High Gold!! Paige's group won 2nd overall for her age division plus High Gold!! YEA!!!! We're all so excited and proud of how GREAT both our girls did!!!
