Ballet

Okay, so there really is balance in my girls lives :) They absolutely loved to get dressed up and dance and sing and have lots of girl fun, too. One of their recent highlights was being in a real ballet...a friend from church taught a younger and older girl's class and put on a recital in May. Each of the girls in the older class got to have a little solo and M got to be the fairy in the fairy dance - she was in heaven. E's favorite dance was the flower dance (to the nutcracker song) and they loved getting dressed up in princess dresses for the "Beauty and the Beast" dance. They did such a great job!!! I was impressed that neither one seemed to have to deal with stage fright (that did NOT come from their mother!!) and it was a great recital.

With this being a church group thing all of the parents pitched in. The teacher and another friend and I spent most of a Saturday painting the backdrop and others made the tutus and decorated and set up and stuff. It was SO much work but it was so worth it...the girls just loved it and still love to dance to the music.
