Charlotte had several events leading up to her ballet recital. First, was picture day!
Mrs. Michelle had a professional photographer come in to take group and individual pictures. Parents weren't allowed in the room during pictures, so I'm anxious to see how they turned out She's into doing a fake smile right now and has to have some coaxing and/or joking around to get a natural one. I'm sure the photographer had lots of tricks, though!
Then we had dress rehearsal this past Friday night. We couldn't video or take pictures during the actual recital, so lots of moms took pictures during rehearsal. Here's Mrs. Michelle, giving some of the girls some tips...
Watching her friends...
Doing the dance...look at that face! She's really concentrating!
Pretty ballerina!
Then Saturday night, it was finally time for recital!
She was super excited!
I loved watching Charlotte dance in the recital. She kept looking down at her tape to make sure she was in the right spot, and then looking up and dancing again. It was too cute. We are excited to watch it on the DVD when it comes in:)
Daddy and Hunter picked out these beautiful roses for Charlotte, and Mrs. Michelle also gave her flowers for dancing so pretty...
We had lots of family come to cheer on our little ballerina...
She did some dance moves just for us after the show was over...
And a curtsey...
One last picture on our way out to dinnner...
Charlotte danced beside the table all throughout dinner. I'm thankful she loves to dance so much, because I can't get enough of seeing her in those cute recital costumes! We're taking a break and doing gymnastics this summer, and then hopefully she'll choose to start up with ballet again in the fall. And if she decides not to do it, I have no shame in trying to convince her. Oh, yes I will.
Until then, we'll be dancing our days away at home!
