I was racking my brains trying to design a great dance gift and nothing was satisfying me. So instead... I utilized the holiday that is right around the corner, St. Patrick's Day, and designed the prettiest gift basket for our weekend in Charlotte for the Hollywood Dance Jamz Convention/Competiton. The basket was all about "GOOD LUCK". Okay, so I do not think the right terminology is "Good Luck!" I think saying that is actually "bad luck", but since I don't believe in LUCK, but rather JESUS.... I proceeded with my dance gift for BOTH Lilah and her "Bull Buddy", Elizabeth.
Each item had to be either green, rainbow, gold, four leaf clover-ish, and/or St. Patrick's day in nature.
Here was what I put inside:
Along with a pair of earrings for each of them and some PERFECTLY worded hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works!
Lilah received the pair above and Elizabeth received the pair below. 
"Oh I wanna dance with some BUNNY!"
My girl woke up to a sweet surprise. She expected NOTHING and was so impressed and touched. She said, "Mommy you are so creative and you think of everything!"
I had three more gifts, which I did not include in the gift basket, but that I present to them. One of the gifts was a perfectly worded gift card to everyone's favorite place, Starbucks. "You're my lucky charm!" 
I spotted a pair of darling, rainbow slipper socks from Old Navy. Just PERFECT for a few nights in a hotel, right? And inside the wrapped gift was a BEAUTIFUL piece of art (artist unknown) that I saw on a SeneSister's facebook page and I had to snag it.
I thought it was the PERFECT explanation of how WITH CHRIST we can have all of the right thoughts about ourselves OR we can listen to Satan's awful/mean ways we so often think of ourselves too. Perfect for a dancer!
I didn't put together a LARGE basket of goodies for Ella, but I didn't want her to feel entirely left out, so I collected a few items for her that were put in both Lilah's and Elizabeth's baskets. I failed to, however, pack a basket for her items. I was DESPERATE for a way to make her few goodies look cute. See what I did, below, in a bout of desperation. Haha.
