Dancing Queen

Katie's dance class was invited to dance in front of the Christmas tree at the Jacksonville Landing on Saturday night. She was quite excited to put on her "party dress" and some makeup and have her hair done. We were only too happy to take a MILLION pictures! Sadly, I bought a lovely red Christmas sweater for Ben, which he refused to wear (becuase "it's not ORANGE!"--as if they sell orange Christmas sweaters??) So here his sister is all gussied up, and he is in his standard Gymboree sweatshirt and jeans. What a fashion disaster! The bottom two pictures were taken before her performance, when they lined all the girls up on the steps to wait their turn. I was marveling at their patience and lady-like behavior. Had it been a group of boys, it would have been absolute pandemonium.
