Save the Last Dance

***Update- Kari's dance was mentioned in Central Pres' weekly blog here.  Amazing.

Well, Easter 2013 might have marked the last time we see our Tiny Dancer perform. At least that's what she wants us to believe. You know, 6-year olds - especially those who have just recently declared themselves a "Vegetarian" - think they have the world figured out and might be too cool to dance in church. 

That being said, Kari was scheduled to do a solo dance this year while her protege/teacher - Allie Parker - choreographed. It was a brief 60-second routine that had been practiced many nights in front of Allie. Kari performed it rather seamlessly before both the 9 and 11 a.m. congregations.

You can judge below whether she'll one day be on Dancing With the Stars or not!

Beep Beep and his Easter Grandkids

Beep Beep, for the first time in many, many years was responsibility-free on Easter Sunday and drove up to see Kari's performance, see the kids get into their Easter baskets and have lunch.  Gran, on the other hand, was back in Indy with her new church responsibilities as Music Director.  Gran and Beep Beep are getting a good chuckle out of the complete reversal of roles.
