Our Annual Mother Daughter Tea Party was a wonderful evening!  It was held August 11, 2011 at the Handley's home.  It was a perfect evening ... beautiful decorations, and fun "tea party" food ... Italian Soda, Ribbon Sandwiches, Salads and Mini Desserts!  We all felt like little girls at a very "fancy" tea party!  Everyone came dressed in their tea party attire ... including gloves, pearls, hats and their most "fancy" party dress!  It was a time for the moms to all get to know each other and for the girls to have some fun "bonding" time!  I think it was felt by all ... it's gonna be a great year!!!

  Kennedy did not always want to be a dancer. She basically tried every sport and hobby first. But when she did karate she pointed her toes. When she played basketball she ran on her toes and dribbled to the beat. When she sang she did it with a dancie flair.  It was her grandma Abby who finally convinced her at the age of 10 that dancing was her destiny. Tracy's dance academy took Kenn under their wing and caught her up. She was in their competitive group for years till they closed their doors.  Kennedy is graceful yet a goofy gal!   She lives life as if every day is the last party she will be attending.  She sings in the shower, sits on the roof and eats chocolate frosting from the can and can fall asleep anywhere.  Being a member of the Las Scelles as a sophomore was "Da Bomb."  Two more years of "Bliss" to go baby!!!!!!!!!
