Looks like Mother's Day and our wedding anniversary weekend for many years to come will be spent celebrating Avery's love of dance! Last month was Avery's second recital on this special weekend. We are both becoming more confident in all the makeup, hair, and prep that goes into these three straight nights of performances! I feel like I'm becoming a real dance mom!
This is what Avery does while I am curling her hair....
she spelled out her name in bobby pins and a hair tie!
She just loves to get her hair and especially, make up, done!
Ready for her first night...
She had lots of fans come to her performance over the three nights.
Ben gripped onto his ticket and Avery's flowers the whole time.
Even Avery's littlest fan, Giuliana, was there! She was a perfect angel!
I surprised Avery with flowers each night...
and so did everyone else! I loved how pretty my house looked for the next week!
Ever wonder what 4-7 year girls do backstage before their performance?
Dance of course...
and also blow feathers around that have fallen from their skirts! I'm surprised there were any left on their skirts by the time they got on stage.
Lining up...ready to go on!
Here is her whole class.. Such dolls!
And here is Avery's studio picture...much improved from last year (if you recall, Mommy was sick on picture night resulting in a lipstick disaster with Grayson and hysterical crying from Avery when Daddy brought her to the studio with no tap shoes!) Yes, I'd say we all really improved this year!
The nights after the recital resulted in some pretty voluminous hairstyles!
And late night silliness!
It doesn't really matter that she looks at her feet most of the time or that she is always a step behind or ahead of everyone else....this girl lives for recital weekend!
We're just going to have to get used to it!
She is one happy dancing girl!
