Each and every week our Thursday routine includes ballet and, most likely, lunch at Chick Fil A (or "chick-a-lay" or "chicken leg" as the girls call it), or sometimes even a treat at the Flying Cupcake. Thursday's are so much fun and we look forward to it every week.
The girls have been working very hard the last few weeks on a little tap dance to "California Girls" (Beach Boy version, not Katy Perry:).
Their first recital was "The Winter Review" this past Saturday night. Pretty much it's a more "low key" recital in comparison to the Big one coming this June. However, there was a packed auditorium, lights, stage, make-up... so it hardly seemed low key to this mama!
As we stood backstage with the girls, waiting for their performance, I had a a moment where I had no idea how Jordan would respond to being on the stage with the lights and all the people in front of her.
The girls walked onto the stage as the mom's stayed backstage and watched our daughters first performance from the side. It was SO fun to see the girls dance on stage FEARLESSLY and have so much fun in the process (and thankfully their teacher stayed with them on stage:).
My view of the performance:
And Todd's view of the performance:
We met the girls backstage after their performance was over to hand them their first performance bouquets! (My mom made these bouquets- how pretty are they!?)
And the girls? they begged us to go out on stage and do it again.
Looks like we might have a little dancer in the family. :)
(thank you Melody for all these incredible photos!)
