Thunderstruck Competition

On February 26th Kaiya and Tatum performed their duo at the Thunderstruck Competition. Since it was an optional competition that was the only dance Kaiya was in. It definitely made the day fun and not stressful even though I think I am getting used to this costume/hair change thing. We had to wake up super early (around 5:30) to get there by 7:00 when the doors opened. She was to be on stage at 7:57 and the performance was at Foster High School in Tukwila. It was a stressful morning with the makeup and there was a lot of tears from both Kaiya and myself. I am hoping that was the last blow up morning for us and hopefully we now have the makeup thing down. It's hard to put makeup on an 8 year old! I can barely put eyeliner on myself! The awards were around 10:00 so after the dance Cirdan, Jett and I went to breakfast with Jennifer and Chris (owner and son). We still had time to watch a bunch of dances before awards.
The girls really did good. They received High Gold and 1st place for a duo group in their age level. I am going to have to find somewhere to put all these trophy's and ribbons!
