Grace's First Ballet Recital

Yesterday, Grace was in her first ever ballet recital. She has been in ballet school at the Perfect Pointe for a year now, and she loves it! Here she is with one of her fellow dancers.

Grace adored her recital costume! She was even

allowed to wear a little make up for the dress rehearsal and recital.

Here is Grace wearing

her make up!! She LOVED

it. I couldn't get used to it at first. It was really strange to see her looking so grown up...

The day before the recital, there was a dress rehearsal. We weren't allowed flash photo

graphy during the actual recital, so here is Grace on stage at the dress rehearsal. It was exciting to see her come out on stage in front of a sold-out auditorium! I was so proud of her, and she did a wonderful job.

We invited the Drapers, the Rankins, and Grandparents Martin to come see the performance. Here is Carrie with Lilia. Lilia lasted about 20 minutes in the audience before having to be taken out!

Here she is with her friend Ella, who was also performing in the recital. She got two bouquets afterwards.
