Taylee's Spring Recital

Tay had her annual Spring Ballet Recital on Saturday.  She is such a little performer, and looks forward to this recital the whole year.  She has gotten so good this year, and loves it so much.  Her instructor advised us to move her to a more advanced class, and put her in the performing group as well.  I guess we'll have to see. . . 

She loves to get all dolled up, and put on make-up.  The red lipstick is always her favorite.  Whitney did her make-up, since Jake and I were out running through the mud.  (More to come on that), and she did a wonderful job.

When we started her in Ballet 3 years ago, there were like 6 or 7 of her little friends in her class.  Now it has dwindled to just her and Megan.  They still have fun though, and carpooling is always nice.

Here's her with her class this year.  They are mainly 2nd graders, that all knew each other, so she didn't make many friends.  The little black-haired girl in front was always so nice to her though.

I loved her costume this year.  I think it was my favorite yet.

She actually did a tap number this year too.  She just wore this leotard with a bathrobe over top, and they danced to "Splish Splash."  I didn't get any pictures of that, but, she has been doing the tap dance all over the house since.  We gave her some flowers too, but, she can't help talking about the 12 beautiful red roses that Grandma brought for her.  She loved that Grandma took the time to put little jewels in the bouquet too.  She always makes her feel so special.  Thanks so much Grandma!
