Solo Pictures from Zorba's Dance
It's hard to put in words how proud I am of you Makenzie. But watching you dance is a mix of pride welling up in my chest, tears of complete joy in my eyes and the strongest urge to squeeze you as tight as I can every time I see you on stage. Your talent is such a gift.......you are a beautiful dancer, inside and out. You bring so much joy to all of us in the family. We love you!

Break time!
For my mom's 60th birthday in July, we surprised her with Michael Jackson Cirque Soleil show tickets at Staples Center in LA for a January 28 show. It was such a fun way to celebrate her birthday and spend a weekend away. It was so fun to see my sister, visit with my parents, play some cards, eat some yummy food, visit the beach, shop, take a nap and do some sleeping in. I hope we make it a tradition and do it every year!!!!!!!

Birthday fun in LA with Aunt Kan Kan
For her birthday, Madison asked to fly to California and visit her Aunt KanKan. So through teary eyes (that I hid from Madison) I sent her off on a plane over night to see my sister. Kandra had a ton of fun stuff planned and Madison had a blast during her quick 30 hour trip. Next time we will have to plan it longer.......the two of them are two peas in a pod.
When my sisters were growing up, their dates would show up to pick them up and my parents, Brendon and I would wear different noses as we introduced ourselves. My sisters were thoroughly embarassed but we loved the reaction of each boy that showed up on our doorstep. Before flying to California, Madison insisted we find the bag of noses so she could wear them when she flew to meet Kandra. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. :)

Birthday dinner at Benihana
Kandra, Favale and Bruss: thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby girl and making her birthday one she'll never forget. As a parent, it was so hard to let her expand her wings and sneak away from the nest, but it was comforting to know she was with all of you. Thank you so much........it's hard to explain my gratitude for being so wonderful to my baby. Hugs to all of you!
