Oireachtas in Denver

My cousin Madeleine is an Irish dancer and came to Denver in November for our 2009 Oireachtas (regional Irish dance competition) with my Aunt Helene. It was so great to see them, and because they live in Arizona we don't get to see them very often. In fact this was their first time meeting Jack and Paige! I didn't get to see her compete, but I did get to see her practice, and she was amazing! She is extremely talented.
Steve, Aunt Helen, my mom, Maddy, Jack, Me, Deni, and Paige all at the Hard Rock Cafe. And yes, Maddy got lots of comments about her beautiful hair, which is the standard "do" for all Irish Dancers.
Proud Mama!!

We had such a nice visit, and Cousin Maddy made such an impression on Jack--he is still talking about her. He also adored my Aunt Helene and insisted on holding her hand everywhere we went (and wanted to be carried by her which is no small feat!). I think she was just as taken with him, so I feel very confident of sending him to her when I've just had enough!
