Dance moves

We love to dance!

There's something about music that just gets into you and you've got to move. Although Alyssa has been "dancing" for a while now, her moves have evolved as she's grown. And Lauren has just recently begun to really start grooving to the music. I really love watching the two of them dance, for those few moments when they're dancing, it's like they're carefree and they're just happy. Not a week goes by where we don't have a dance party up in Alyssa's bedroom. Alyssa likes to dance on her "night-night" (aka her blanket), but we all join in the fun.

This video of Lauren is from one day not too long ago in the kitchen in the morning. She doesn't dance too much, but there's a few little bounces and a spin or two that you can see. Rather than editing the video, I kept it all here so you can just watch her for a moment - she's growing up so fast.



This video of Alyssa is from the Hudsonville Community Fair. We went there with some friends from work a few weeks ago, and Alyssa showed off her new dance skills. The handle of the wagon gets in the way some in the video, but I think you'll be able to see her doing her thing. Part of why I love this video so much is that her moves seem to go so well with the music.



I can't remember if I ever included this in a post before or not, so I'm including it here...but on multiple occasions throughout the winter and into spring, we'd ask Alyssa if she was ready to "shake her booty" when we were getting ready to dance, and she'd run and put on her cowboy boots.

Can't wait to see what new moves the two of them come up with next!
