First Feis

S began studying Irish dance at the beginning of the school year, and this past weekend she competed in her first feis (a competition of Irish dancers and musicians; pronounced "fesh") in Branson. It was held at the absolutely gorgeous Chateau on the Lake. S had a blast and did very well, bringing home a medal for participating in her first feis and two first place medals for her performances.

We can't wait until the next feis in Little Rock in April!!

Oh my! She looks so very grown up. I haven't seen her in a while and was taken wonderfully aback at her height! I know your Mama would have loved to have seen her at the FEIS! You have beautiful children.

Loved the photos, esp. the one of the enchiladas.
