Well, the whole reason we changed dance studios last fall was because Lilly wanted to dance on stage in front a bunch a people.. and her dream came true a few days ago at her big tap/ballet RECITAL! They've had a few little dance shows at craft fairs for practice, but this was the big one that the dance studio does once a year for every single dance class.
Here she is ready to go in her pretty peacock recital outfit!
Waiting for her turn to dance. (So this is a funny story. I wasn't supposed to be a backstage mom helper, but after seeing the only other mom who was back there helping, screaming at the girls like they were dogs, I decided to stay back and help, hoping maybe I could keep the psycho from bringing any of the girls to tears! Everything turned out fine.. no tears!
Dancing Queen performing.. she did so good!!!! These pics below are actually from the dress rehearsal, because I knew there wouldn't be any flash photography allowed at the actual recital the next day..
Time for ballet!
After the rehearsal, it was just the two of us, so we decided to play!
Some pics from my phone!
Flowers from Mommy, Daddy, Nate and Ben!
My view from backstage!
Also got some pretty pink roses from our sweet neighbors who came, Donna and Mike!
Family picture after the recital! (Poor Daddy was chasing around Ben while I was backstage with Lilly's group).
Although she is shy and quiet, she faces her fears in ways that make me so proud. I know being on stage is outside her comfort zone, but she never once seemed nervous or upset, or like she didn't want to go on stage. She was excited and ready to rock, and that she did. Love this girl so much!!
