Dancing Queen

Lisa left this week, so I feel it best to next introduce my younger sister, Grace. Grace is 7 years old and has more spunk and sass then any girl you will ever meet! She and Lisa are incredibly close. Remember how I said Lisa is dancer? And an amazing one at that? Grace wants to follow in her footsteps and be a dancer also. Grace knows what she wants and goes for it. She is in first grade and easily the smartest in her class, and I’m not just saying that. Her teacher told my parents that they aren’t able to test her any higher while being in the 1st grade. 

On the night Lisa left, Grace had a big showcase for her competition dance team. Because Lisa is the other dancer at home, she would always be the one to get Grace ready. So clearly, Grace is used to perfection. We had Lisa do Grace’s makeup before going to the MTC (super silly, I know) but if she hadn’t Grace would have looked really strange that night. Lisa explained how we put the fake eyelashes on, how to do her hair, and which costumes she needed for that evening. Thank you Lisa! When 5:30 rolled around and were getting Grace ready, we noticed that the makeup on one of her eyes got completely wiped off. My mom panicked because, to be honest, we didn’t pay that much attention when Lisa showed us how to do it. Trying to copy from the other eye, then adding the lashes, Grace went and looked in the mirror. Horrified, she said “Can’t you two do anything right the first time?!” We laughed and fixed our mistakes. 

Grace is wonderful, talented, beautiful and driven. She will go very far in life!
