Dancing queen

I took Ella to JC Pennys tonight to pick out a princess dress for a birthday party of a preschool friend. Apparently they are dressing as princesses and having tea.

When we got home, three seemingly unrelated events conspired to create great hilarity:
- Ella tried on the dress to show Paige when we got home. Apparently the dress, unbeknownst to me... came with rhythm.
- I was fiddling around on youtube, listening to my usual oddball choices of music.
- We had the video camera out, because while Ella has 352 hours of footage from the first month of her life... we haven't taken any video of Luke since he was six days old. The irony is that Ella ended up the star of the video... again.


(if you get bored, skip to 2:00 for the best moves)


She did not get this from us. She has nearly 100% Dutch genes, and was baptized in the Christian Reformed Church. She should have absolutely no "dance" in her. The dancing gene has been selectively bred out of Dutch CRC'ers for generations, such that we can't even clap in rythym with a hymn anymore. So where she learned that hip waggle, I don't know...

You would think we let the kid watch MTV or something. We don't even have cable! I'm going with the theory that her Aunt Gina taught her all of this...

Seriously though... Paige and I were both crying we were laughing so hard...
