Dancing Bear

On Saturday, my parents, Matt, and I went to Delainey's first dance recital! Yes, it was a precious affair, make-up, flowers, big fluffy, WHITE costume, and lots of excitement. We had a great time-it was fun, and some of it was funny-especially the little girls, as expected.

I was interested to see what Delainey's class would do, since they were all over the place in class, and didn't really do the dance during the first run through at dress rehearsal. And oh, they never practiced on a stage....




They did very well-and I was especially proud of Delainey. She really seemed to take the lead-mostly due to her slightly competitive nature (cough, cough, cough)but mostly I was happy that she actually did the dance!!

A few more pictures of the big dance...

Make-up!! (I think mom better take some make-upping classes)



Arabesque (or however you spell it-and yes, there is ketchup on her left knee...)



Flowers after the show from Dad!

Wow! I feel behind since we're just about to do Nicole's first dance recital (she's been dancing for years).

Well done!!

Just be glad you don't have dress rehearsal 15 min away M-W this week and performances at the same place, Th-Sat.

how cute! I can't wait until I can get Maddy into classes. I remember doing those stage performances when I was that age.

Wow that was the cutest thing ever! Mattie came over while I was watching it and she said that she wants to do dance now! I guess I'll have to find out the info from you again.

That was awesome. I love little recitals. It looked like the dance should have been named, "Follow Delainey). I want to get Jane into Dance once she turns 3. We'll see. Anyway, the info for copying and pasting is this:
Click on the title of the post (Creativity Tag) and then just highlight what you want to copy, right click, select copy. Then go to your blog and put that in a new post, right click and say paste. If you have any questions, give me a call. And if you have any requests on what you want me to make you, let me know. It was good to see you at the beach.

Isn't it great to know that Chase is not the only child with the competitive streak?

Should we call it the Branch 1 gene?
