The end ofDance Momsuntil next year!
The end of my 18-week bonding ritual with my daughters which sucks!
The minis were there, along with their moms, staking their claim to the ALDC Spotlight.

The mini moms complained, acted out, and fought back.
They essentially hogged the episode.
While this was all highly entertaining, we really didnt care.
We wanted to see Maddie and Mackenzie dance.
We didnt care about Melissas tantrums and crying.
At one point, I turned to my kids and said, Melissa is acting crazy.
To which my daughters replied, No, shes not.
Shes just sad and stressed its over and acting out.
(ThatsDance MomsLife lesson #76 that Ive learned from my daughters.)
Through all the drama, we finally got our wish.
Mackenzie did a cute, fun dance that made us cheer.
It was exactly what we wanted to see from her even though the judges didnt agree.
Then the moment we were waiting for: Maddie.
A dark, dramatic dance that made us all cry.
We cried because it signified the end.
The end of an era with Maddie.
The end of the most beautiful dances we have ever seen.
Thank youDance Moms see you for the reunion next week.
