because it's been awhile...

...since I posted a picture of her (well, a week or so, right?), I thought I'd show some today.

These are from the unsuccessful Christmas card photo shoot which I previously mentioned (we have since had a successful photo shoot, just in case you were wondering. The results should be landing in your mailboxes in a few weeks....). In these pictures she's dancing to the music of the snow globe (It's playing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"--quite a danceable tune, don't you think?).

She loves music and loves to dance. Often in the middle of doing something else she'll come up to me and just start dancing, which means, "Mommy, can we please go upstairs and turn on the music in the guest room so I can dance?" Sometimes I comply and other times I try to appease her by turning music on downstairs, which is good, but that isn't what she really wants. But if I follow up her dancing with asking, "Do you want to go upstairs and dance?" she bolts for the stairs. Downstairs dancing just doesn't cut it, I guess. The real dancing happens upstairs.

Anyway, without further ado, here's my dancing queen (please ignore the sheet covered couch in the background. It was to be the background in the photos, which would be cropped to camouflage the couch, but I didn't bother cropping since these weren't being used on the card).
