Such a fun evening yesterday as we held a talent s Such a fun evening yesterday as we held a talent show for our homeschool group! The girls all got up on stage and danced. They were more nervous dancing in front of friends than they ever are at a competition! It was so awesome seeing all the kids perform and there were many teary-eyed parents in the audience. Isn't it just so great seeing kids do what they love?

Afterward, we shared pizza for dinner and had a disco! Much dancing and of course the nutbush and macarena lol. Such an awesome night and some lasting childhood memories made!

The big girls headed off afterward for a 2-night sleepover at the sunshine coast amongst a group of 7 girls and are currently having a lot of fun at the beach, eating sweets, singing, dancing, and giggling I'm sure. Classic teen girl life LOL.

Feeling so grateful for community and that they have so many great friends who they love so much. Friendship outside of school looks similar in some ways but so different in many other ways and we are SO happy about that.
