Our 1st Dance Recital!

Laken and I had our dance recital in Mid-May. What a blast! Saturday the recital was at 6:30 pm. I treated her to an up-do or "princess hair" as she called it. She sat perfectly still and was excited to have her princess hair. We had supper at a neighborhood barbeque and then, it was off to the recital. Nama, Grandpa, Bean, Madeline and Baby Constance and Daddy were all in attendance to watch. We able to watch the other dancers perform until intermission when we had to go backstage to get ready for our performance. She absolutely loved the Sugar Plum Fairies who were the pointe dancers the best! She got so excited everytime she saw one of the Fairies backstage. Finally, it was our turn. She was so delighted to be on stage and especially because she knew her special guests were in the audience. Afterwards we gave her a 12 Dancing Princess Barbie and Nama and Grandpa gave her a green sparkly wand. We did the show again on Sunday at 1:00 pm. She did better than I could have ever imagined and I had way more fun, too! It was a great weekend!
