NOW we can Dance!!!!!

McKenna's Birthday was last week and we had a family Birthday gathering for her on Saturday night. We all met for dinner and then came back to our place for cake and ice cream.

As most of you know, our McKenna is obsessed with clogging! To the point that one might think she has OCD over it. :) It's literally non-stop in this house. She clogs ALL the time. She even clogs in the shower! It often sounds as if elephants are coming through the ceiling.
So with her passion and desire to clog, Steve and I have been playing around with the idea for quite some time about using some of the left over pieces of wood we had from having our floors done, and making her an area she can clog on with her clogging shoes. Up until now, she clogs in her socks or else if she wants the sounds, she takes the shoes and heads to the garage.
Steve worked secretly for a week putting things together, then Friday night she spent the night with her cousins and we put it all together. She had absolutely no idea......

A mini dance studio!! She literally freaked out. LOVED it! screamed, jumped, danced, she thought it was all to good to be true.

We put the area in the backside of the house. She still however has to share her space with the piano. :) She of course doesn't seem to mind a bit.
When Mervyn's was going out of business here in Boise, we picked up all the mirrors. If your ever looking for mirrors, that's the way to go.

She had to test out the floor first thing! We put on a song her team is currently working on. I happen to get this picture at a point in the song/dance when they have to jump up and tuck their feet up. She had a blast showing us her "stuff" and of course enjoyed her cousins joining in.

And a BIG thank you hug for Dad and all his hard work. May your dreams come true McKenna. Be a star. Dance your heart out.
