Dress rehearsals!!



 fearless and ready this one!

 Abigail's buddy Sophia

 This is the kids mobbing Brianna.  These teens have a huge responsibility to all these younger girls who look up to them like role models. They are like celebrities to the younger ones.

 Being in more numbers this year means we stay later into the evening to practice.  But I love my dressing room picnics with my girl!

 Abigail's favorite number by far this season.  The jazz super group number with all the age groups.  She loved being a part of something to this larger scale.


Heading home for the night.  See you back tomorrow! 

and so the maddness begins....recital week!



And our annual,  increasingly more maddening season of recital week begins.   The multiple snow days this year bumped the class portraits into the same week as recital dress rehearsals. Making the week even crazier then usual.   Ugg!  It was one wild week full of much hair spray, lip stick and yet so thankful to have a job that lets me devote the time needed to these little divas in need of constant makeovers!   Don't let me fool you,   I loved every minute of it!!! These are just of their portrait days.  I still have never bought professional pics of the girls from these recital weeks.  I like the candid ones I get in my yard better then the studio professional ones.   It's much cheaper too!

Her 2nd year at this so she knows the drill and I think she enjoys the pampering and make up!












 Pretty sure that's not what you're supposed to do with the ballet barre!

 Traditionally now we head out for pizza when we get a break from portraits at the studio.




 Back for round 2 Abigail is getting her energy out!!





 Sweet bull buddy Brianna :)




 The girls LOVED this number.  It was called zero to hero and they loved the capes!
