My Special Needs Aunt...

My Dad's youngest sister, Amy, has down syndrome.  Those with down syndrome think at a certain age.  Amy is 40 but thinks and acts like she is 6-9 years old.  She has come so far with learning things such as the piano, singing, dancing, writing, doing simple math, and MORE!  She is beautiful inside & outside and she makes everyone around her smile.

This last weekend we had the opportunity to see her compete in a ballroom dance competition at Brigham Young University.  BYU Ballroom dancers paired up with special needs adults and children.   They danced 2 dances and each special needs adult received a trophy!  We had fun cheering Amy on as she twirled around and shook her booty on the dance floor.
