With Hadley’s love for music and dance we rang in her 4th year Dance Party Style at Sound Roots School of Music. We felt very fortunate to have the super fun and talented Mo Phillips in the house as host.
Entertainment Included a Round of Musical Cushions:
Her older brother told her all about the special treatment she’d receive: you get to watch a movie, eat popcorn and at the end they give you a lollipop!
She skipped the popcorn and barely took notice of the TV. Her experience was all about the zebra print gown, swivel chair and warm blow dryer. And before she savored her own lollipop, she asked for one to take home to her brother.
