Recital time

Chloe did not want to participate in the Kodak moment but we made her anyway

I had to do my trick to get her to smile,  the squished up nose is cause I talked about slimy boogers to make her laugh!

She looks so pretty in her stage make up, and I can't lie, I love playing dress up and putting it all on her!

I look atrocious and exhausted but I don't care, me and my dancer had a fun night

me and my girl backstage

keeping entertained until their number was up

so loved this one!

 a little overexposed with the bright sunlight but kind of  a neat picture!  Love those eyes!

This picture didn't come out as beautiful as it was in real life.  When we walked out of the theater the moon was big and beautiful and riding low in the sky just above our city star.  My camera didn't do it close to justice but I tried.  It was such a gorgeous night!



Well another dance season under our belts.  We had a great time at the show this year and Abigail was our little star again.   Despite her not being as crazy about her routine as last year she still rocked out to her hip hop number and did amazing.  Especially since she's still only 5 yrs old in a class for 6-8 yr olds.   We were so proud of her.  We did the rehearsals on Friday night again and I took mom with me so we could include Chloe on a more relaxed setting.  I wanted Chloe to see her sister do her thing and Chloe didn't move a muscle when the Bit's class was practicing.   I suspect this time next year Chloe will be wanting to be in her own number and fancy get up.   We went to Wendy's after the rehearsal and had a good fatty meal before calling it a day.   We had a good turn out for recital night.  This was the first time she was in the evening show instead of the afternoon one.  Grammie and Deana Greg and little Mindy came too but couldn't stay for long so we didn't get any pictures of them.  Half way through the 3 hr performance we got Abigail out of backstage and said good bye to Daddy and her Mi-Mi and Pa Pa.  Me and Abigail went to find better seats to see the remaining portion of the show.  When the curtain closed for the last time Abigail whined out in her own way and said "awwww!  Mommy I don't want it to be over?!"  I had to explain to her that protesting would not make the show go on any longer.   She eats this stuff up and it's a blast to enjoy it all with her.  She is so good at it and she definitely has the heart and guts of  a performer so far.  On the way to the theater recital night I asked her again if she was nervous about performing,  her reply was the same as last year...a very quick confident "No!", "I'm excited!".   That's my girl!
