End of the Year Dance Recital

Our end of the year dance recital was June 14th, and I had a great time watching our little girls perform. The last few months of dance both Avery and Aliza were not wanting to go to dance because I think they needed a break. In fact Aliza told me one day "mom, I'm so done with dance." But after performing on the stage with the cheering, lights, and wearing their cute costumes they are already talking about wanting to do it again next year. We will see about that when the time comes I suppose. That is if I can talk Micah into doing it again. Have I ever mentioned how EVERYTHING is so outrageously expensive here in Henderson. This year in dance has cost a small fortune, but it was a great experience too.

Aliza was being a stinker the whole time at the recital not wanting me to take any pictures. This is the only picture of her we got of the whole evening. I had to get a picture of her beautiful lipstick application. Both Avery and Aliza were thrilled to be able to wear makeup for the recital. With the dance studio being so big they had to split up the kids into 3 different recitals. Of course my girls were in two different recitals which made it a very long evening. We snuck out of Aliza's recital a bit early to grab a bite to eat, and then headed back to watch Avery's recital.

The both did a lovely job, and I can't wait to get the dvd to watch it again. We did a little photo shoot in front of our house this morning to make up for having no pictures the day of the recital.

I asked them to strike a dance pose, and this is what I got. Cute!

I thought it was funny that they ended up in matching outfits. They are in totally different classes, but their costumes were made out of the same materials. I loved the blue, purple and green together. Avery's turned out to be really beautiful for the ballet number her class did.

It was a fun recital, but we are glad for a Summer break. Great job girls!
