Our Very Own Dancing with the Stars Champion!

This post showcases a different McAlister girl!  This past Thursday night Keli McAlister (my sister-in-law) took the night off from her daily news anchor gig and strutted out in style for "Dancing with the Stars: Jackson Style".   She was one of several Jackson, TN area celebrities that paired with "learned" dance partners to raise money for the Jackson Theatre Guild. She performed the Foxtrot to a sold-out crowd.  At the end of the night, she was able to add another feather to her cap when she walked away as the winner of the competition!

We're proud of you Keli!  And, you can take comfort in knowing that you didn't just help the Jackson Theatre Guild.  The timing of this event couldn't have been better, since we're in training mode for Brenna's upcoming Dance Recital.  Brenna looked at the pictures of Aunt Keli and we talked about how brave she was to dance in front of all those people and how Brenna could be brave like Aunt Keli.  Hopefully, she'll take all this heart and not be a "deer in the headlights" or worse, just bolt right off the stage when her big day comes.

And the winner is.......

Congratulations Keli!
