Please forgive me, as this post is a bit out of order chronologically, but I am trying to catch up a bit on my blog today. I am planning on making my blog into books for my girls to have when they are older (in addition to their scrapbooks, of course!) and I wanted to be sure and include this special day!
Both girls took dance from Mrs. Liz this year and absolutely LOVED every minute of it!I cannot say how much I admire Mrs. Liz’s patience (especially with the little ones AND after she has taught at school all day!) I was a bit apprehensive as the recital grew near as to whether or not Anna Katherine would even get on the stage, much less dance! I should point out that at her Thanksgiving PowWow at school she kept her hands over her ears and would not even look up & at the Christmas program she stood on the front row and cried the entire program. Not a great start to our public performances! :-)
I knew both sets of grandparents were going to be able to come into town for the recital, so I bit the bullet, paid for the costumes, and decided if Anna didn’t go on stage…well, it wouldn’t be the end of the world-even to this OCD mommy! Somewhere at the beginning of April the big day finally came…the day costumes came in! All it took was one look at her costumes, and Anna was hooked! I should probably mention here that Maddie had been hooked since the day Mrs. Liz told her there was part of the recital that she was going to be the only one on stage while the queen dance around her!
Here are a “few” pics of my precious dancers!

I may be a bit partial, but Maddie looked absolutely beautiful (and a little to grown up for me!)
Anna in her tap/jazz costume. I love this picture b/c it totally captures her personality!
Papa wasn’t able to come to the recital b/c he had just had knee surgery, so he sent the girls cards-with peppermints in them of course!
