Beautiful Ballerinas!



Mama Holli was a dancer 
many moons ago.


Now Mama Holli gets to watch 
her baby girls dance!
I was not even half the dancer 
my girls are today!
It is a joy beyond words to witness!
Dancing is an art!
It is such a beautiful
way to express ones self.
It is where music and spirit meet.
It is where a soul unites with a sound.
It is beautiful!
