ReCiTaL TiMe!!

The final recital...
of Allikaye's first year of dancing...
has come and gone!

She has loved dance this year
more than I expected!
I love the Dance Academy she is in...
they take it serious...
but still make it fun -
so that she has really grown as a dancer
and has loved it all the while!

The Christmas recital was tap dancing...
this one was ballet.
They danced to "Under the Sea"
and came out hiding in treasure chests...
then bubbles came out when they did.
So cute!

Are you serious?
She is amazing to me!

Here's daddy and Miss Mermaid Dancer...
before the big show!

We don't have video quite yet -
but here is proof that she rocked it!
Look at that proud smile!

She did all her moves...
her spins, shakes, rolls, all of it.
It was remarkable...
the cuteness was almost too much!
Here she is with flowers from her fans...
grandma and popa!

She was pretty worn out after all
that dancing excitement!

But we still headed to her choice...

Red Robin!

Then we took our most special girl
to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream!

What a special day!

We are so proud of our tiny dancer!
I am so thankful for her!
*sigh*

Yay for Allikaye!
We love you sweet pretty girl!
