Miss Sassafrass (aka "Jaina")'s Dance Weekend

So, I decided that it was time that I did some writing on this blog, lest anyone think this is all just Jason's doing.

Nov. 7-8th, Jaina went to the Carolina Dance Masters Convention in Greensboro, NC with her dance team, "The Mini's" from Dancers Workshop here in Sanford. Mommy Mindy was her chaperone, it was a 3-day thingy, we just did Friday & Saturday, though (no dancing on Sundays for Jaina, much to her director's frustration, but this IS her 4th year there, and they don't seem to mind). We stayed overnight at the Sheraton's Four Season's hotel in Greensboro, very fancy and bigger than any hotel I have ever stayed in. Jaina and friends got plenty of time in the indoor pool and got to "eat out" in the hotel restaurants and lots of giggly-girl time with each other. They managed to squeeze in there dance classes and performances. :)

The girls had a pageant to attend Friday night and a Banquet Saturday night, they were to be in formal dress, so Jaina got to get dressed up like never before and they giggles some more and had fun. Did I mention that parents were not allowed at the Banquet? Just the girls, their instructors, etc. So, we took a lot of pictures and sent my little girl off to have a "Cinderella Evening" with her friends.

She really had a great time and afterward, they all partied in our hotel room until the "hotel police" came and scared the girls quiet. We were only blasting her "High School Musical" CD and jumping on the beds. etc. There really should not be a quiet hour in a hotel hosting a bunch of girls for 4 days. Oh well.

It was a fun busy weekend. While we were gone, Jason and the boys went out and bought Daddy a gun. Hmm.
