At the Ballet

Lily and several of her friends went to a dance recital this weekend to support their friends who were performing. It was a fun evening filled with lots of dancing!!!

Off to the recital

Friends

The Spring Fling

This past Saturday Lily attended a dance called the Spring Fling. She went with two others friends and they all had a great time. John took Lily to get a manicure and pedicure the night before.





Love how pretty they all look. Hard to believe they are all growing up so quickly!

Christmas Show, Dancing, and A Plate of Fudge

Wednesday was a busy day. Shelly's preschool had a little Christmas performance for us. They looked so cute in their matching snowman sweatshirts. Unfortunately the noon lighting in the church made it tough to get decent pictures. I am still learning how to use all of the camera functions (that's obvious) and hopefully I will one day master the lighting issues. Lily's dance class performed their Christmas dances for us. They did a great job. It was a little bittersweet since this was the last class for Lily. She has chosen to call it quits with dance for now. I'm ok with that, but after watching her, I realized that she really has some talent in dance. Perhaps she'll do it again some time. Oh, and you'll notice from the photos that she takes this all very seriously...the girl did not crack a smile until the final group photo.
After dance, I came home and put together some little plates of fudge for the ladies in the office at Lily's school, as well as, the principal. The were small and simple gifts on holiday plates to keep. The cute tags came from this site.

Recital

Lily's dance recital was held on Saturday night. She did such a great job with all three dances. My parents and John's mom were all here to see her and I know she was thrilled to have them here. Mom french braided her hair. Here are some of the pictures from the show.

Pictures include: Lily and her dance teacher, Miss Lauren, Lily before the show with daddy and Shelly, Lily and her dance buddies, Olivia and Hailey. (Blogger is doing some strange stuff with the photos...hoping it looks ok).
