Dance Party 2012

Whew…y’all I just have to say this past week was so busy. We had something every night this week. But this post is specifically about Jayci’s dance recital this year.

This years theme was Dance Party. It was very fun with lots of fun music and dances. Rehearsal was Thursday night and we had to be there at 4 and did not leave until right at 9. I know it’s crazy ridiculous but we do it anyway.

In fact, I was not going to preregister Jayci up for dance because I just wasn’t sure how much she was enjoying it. But after watching her at recital and seeing her in those sweet little costumes I couldn’t resist.

Anyway, she and all of her classmates did such a good job. They were beautiful ballerinas!

First we started out recital night by having Mrs. J put Jayci’s hair in a bun. I possibly could have done this myself but I really didn’t want to fight with her and it end in a bad night.

The perfect ballerina bun.

Jayci and her friend, L. They are so cute and funny together with all their posing.

One of my favorite things about recital is the before hand. When all the girls are backstage getting ready. Especially at this age they just love looking at themselves in the mirror in all their pretty costumes and glamour.

However, they are still little girls that love to play and have a fun time. Here they are playing ring-around-the-rosie. I will have to say they are perfectly trained ballerinas because when it was time to “all fall down” none of them did. They knew better in their pretty white costumes. HA!

The stage…At the end of the dance some of the girls got on the cake and danced. It was very cute!

My ballerina and her flowers for doing so good in her performance.

I have decided next year we will take a family picture before recital. Because by the time it’s over I am a hot sweaty mess.

And just for fun here is a picture from last year. Korbyn was just a week old in this picture. My how we have all changed in the last year.

Later this week I will do a post on Korbyn’s birthday party. We had such a fun time. But for now I think I am going to bed.
