Dancing Queen

Avery had her dance recital a few weeks ago. As always, Avery loves the opportunity to get dressed up and all that jazz so she loves dance recital time.

Her class did a ballet and tap routine. The ballet routine was set to “If You Believe” from Tinkerbll and the tap routine was set to a jazzy version of “It’s a Small World”.

Getting ready…..I’m so glad I took the time to curl her fine hair because the humidity straightened like a board in about 2 seconds flat.

 

Posting with NaNa.

And with Mimi. Thanks for all the rides to dance, Mimi!

Evidently I got no pictures of the tap performance, but I did get a few during ballet.

Of course Matt and I got her flowers for the performance. When I asked Will the day before the recital if he wanted to give her flowers too he said no…he wanted to get Sunshine a ballet outfit and surprise Avery with Sunshine dressed in her dance costume at the recital. So guess what I did on Friday? Drove around to find a dance costume for a doll.

We were on the 2nd row and we held Sunny up when Avery was on stage. The look on her face when she saw Sunny was so cute!

Will begrudgingly posing with the doll and flowers and then giving them to Avery after the recital. As you can tell Avery isn’t even paying him attention. She’s looking at her daddy…..the rest of us were completely ignored!

 

As you can tell, someone got hold of the lipstick backstage!

 

As you can tell, some little people were getting tired of pictures! But a few more!

 

This is Avery and her friend, Cecilia. This is their 2nd year of dancing together. They also played t-ball together this year.

Cecilia’s younger sister danced this year as well.

Such sweet girls!

Avery claimed she didn’t want to take dance next year. And then as she was getting all prettied up for the recital, she decided she does want to take it.  I don’t know if we will be able to swing it with softball but we might have to try.
