The art of a great photo-bomb

Since our studio is closed for the Christmas holiday, it gives me a couple weeks to reflect on ALL the 'together-ness' our dance team has had during the past year.

Looking at pictures (really, just trolling Facebook) I realized that SO much of our fun is because this group is just down-right funny.

Honestly... Some of our BEST, BEST laughs were just attempting to get a good photo.

An otherwise natural shot.... Olivia3 just couldn't help herself.

But she isn't alone... Holly is a hoot when she wants to be!

But... Back to Olivia3 (the child has spunk)

Not sure what was happening here... I think it was a Call-me-maybe thing... Based on Sammy and Stephanie's telephone thing

You must look DEEPER than the front, the girls WAY in the back---

Total photo-bomb-age.

The call for a 'silly' photo met an always ready crowd at Halloween.

Olivia3 is an act all by herself, isn't she?

So... Who to point out first?

Olivia2... In front? She could've smiled... But NOOOO, she pouts.

Holly... Peace, sister.

Meredith... Behind Holly... Thank God she's short.

Or Jessie... (far left) had no idea she was in but smiled anyway.

Speaking of Jessie.... (far back) FANTASTIC bombing!

Even Becky can't help herself....

The KISS-tongue thing is popular with this group.

Bri... Such a clown

Lora... Acting shy (with 3 layers of clothing?)

A simple, simple photo.... Photo-bombed by my own daughter.

(one of my most favorite pics because of the braces... A teen-thing)

Mia... Was going for the angry-rock-star look

Olivia2's refusal to participate was its OWN photo-bomb

Even the shots they take of themselves....

And just to prove that I am not above the silliness...

(this was taken at the Cooper city charter school's festival)

Taliah and Gracelyn... Got the same puff-faced memo

Really... Lora is tall, but not THAT tall.

Can you believe that this child probably doesn't know WHO 'the Fonz' is??

Oh yes.... This is the DEFINITION of the perfect photo bomb!!

(Holly... Great timing! )

April's Look-at-me moment... Sabotaged by Olivia3's bombing! (too cute)

just a little insight to the silliness this group can have...

It's the reason we love each other

And the reason poor Liana has to post 150+ photos of each event... These kids can't help themselves from dropping a bomb.

Thanks for checking us out

Clogging Christmas party - 2012

**singing**

**Robbins Lodge (in Davie) was beginning to look a lot like... Christmas**

Ok... I know, I know, I'm doing my best to fill the air with Christmas cheer

Last week, our dancing family came together to celebrate the holiday.

I'm not sure WHO gets credit for finding the awesome Twister mat, but it took up the whole floor.

But it was a HUGE hit.

We had a pot-luck dinner.... Which equals one fantastic spread

April and Emilia couldn't wait to dig in.

The food line was endless, and, in the end, there wasn't much left over.

Is this family not the most-beautiful-color-coordinated-awesomeness?

Dad will have his hands full... In 10 years. ;)

Not all families we're able to gather quick enough for MeMaw's camera

Moms and their daughters were out in full force... Sorry , guys, you were out numbered.

Of course, there were some Dads (and boys) there, too.

(Lester and Cathy... He clogs in Becky's Wednesday afternoon class)

Bad pic of me... Great one of Wade.

Poor John, got stuck playing bartender to keep the line moving

Rapunzel and her parents.... Always fun.

Proof that there are times when someone doesn't want a photo taken... Too bad, Skylar.

For the most part, this group is always ready for the camera.

(Lindsay, Erica, Brianna, and Holly... With a peace-loving, Leigh-Ann)

Naturally, the music was going.... This group can't stay away from the dance floor.

There was musical-chairs/scavenger hunt games.

And Becky had on hand the Mickey Mouse trophy the studio gets for dancing in Disney.

Which made for a great group shot.

I say... Anytime 3 girls are together Is reason enough for a smile.

No matter what the age...

Bri's mom, Carmen, presented Becky with our group gift.

It was our way of thanking Becky for (truly) dedicating every aspect of her life... To us (in some way)

It was wrapped in an Express store box... Becky was telling everyone how much she LOVES the store, Express.

But, It was an iPad... Think she was surprised?

A special shout out to Carmen, for collecting the $$$ and shopping for us (and almost missing her daughter's choir concert to pop in)

OMG... We are crazy for the 'ta-da' shots, aren't we?

One final look at the bunch of us... Save you from scrolling up to the top

and the pic-collage that Holly's mom, Liana, created for FB.

Our thanks to you, Liana, for your eye, your camera, and your patience.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE...

It's been a great year.
