This one is my favorite
Her little class in their tap costumes
Silly one- love the belly!
The class in the ballet costumesSaturday was her big day! We headed off to dress rehearsal that morning and I got to see the girls do their dances for the first time. They were all darling. I guess I expected a bit more but they are only 3 and they have never done anything like this before. When her and Anni came out they both waved to me and Gibson and finally half way through the dance they started the movements. I explained to the girls after they should come out with smiles on and watch the teach and dance for everyone. Well that backfired(explain later).
After rehearsal we headed to brunch with Brynn, Sammie and Lucy. Sammie loves Village Inn and my girls didn't care so off we went. All three were being silly but ate great. Cute little friendships developing, just darling!

3 silly friends : Sammie, Anni and EttaWe had Anni over again at 3:30 to do hair and make-up (yes I put blush, lip gloss and cream sparkly eye shadow on the). Off we went to get ready for the big Dance Recital. They were both so excited.
A quick picture
ExcitedOnce they were both dressed and ready I headed to my seat to wait for Daddy and Gibby. Gibson love every minute of it. He clapped after every dancer and when Etta and Anni came out he yelled to both of them "Yeah, Detta, Hi Anni. Yeah, Detta", clapping his little hands off. Etta came out not waving but picking her nose. I should have just let her wave!
After the recital I hurried backstage to help Etta and get some pictures. My dad and Jenny came and had given her flowers. They thought she only had one dance so they came backstage after the first dance. Jenny then helped Etta into her costume. Thanks to both of them very much!

This is Jenny, Etta was soo cute dancing. She was worth the trip. We had fun cheering for her, you and your family are loved by me! Love ya always, Jenny.
picking her nose...that's awesome! parker cheated at his swim meet last saturday, he held on to the rope while pulling himself along and got first place on the stroke...kids rock!
Thanks for coming to Breakfast. We had a blast. Etta was adorable at the recital. It is always fun to watch the preschool classes dance because they do the unexpected.
good grief, where have i been? you are so exciting...we so need to hang out more often. etta is such a beautiful little dancer, even if she does pick her nose! i could tell you stories of other dancers i know who've done the same, some worse. how fun to have such great adventures, and all because of dance! and i love the camping in the backyard with dad--too much fun! how nice of andy to oblige...after the game, of course!
