..lining up..

..walking out..

{I love her arm!}

..waiting for the music to start..

..and they're dancing!..

{the judge on the right smiled at

Adi & Blake like this

the whole performance}

..awards time..

..of course, as the mom,

I thought they were the best..

..the realization sets in..

..LAST COUPLE STANDING..

It's true!!

They took first place!!

We were all just a little excited!!

..there was "free dance" time..
