Last night my little ballerinas had their ballet recital. It was sooooo fun! The festivities began with getting hair and make up done. Both girls were excited, and not nervous at all. Don't they look beautiful?
I LOVE this picture. Check out both girls good posture, straight arms, and Bronwyns pointed toe! I'm a little proud ot them...

So..... The girls' skirts were a little too big. This is evidenced by how Magdalen keeps putting her arms down her skirt and playing with it. I had to choose between being annoyed and amused, and opted for amusement. She looks pretty quirky in the first video. Who knows why Bronwyn kept rubbing her chest and tummy. Thankfully, they both settled into real dancing as the dance went on!
This video is right before the final curtain call. Each performer had their named called, and they could run and leap across the stage. This video has 3 dancers. First is Magdalen, then our good friend Brooklyn, and then Bronwyn. Bronwyn's leaps totally rocked! (Magsy's were good too, of course.)
Final curtain call. Magsy is on the front-right in the top picture, and Bronwyn is in the middle with her arms up in the bottom picture.
One of my favorite memories of childhood is going out for treats after a recital. The tradition lives on, and we ended the night with good food and great friends.
I miss my girls!!!! I tried to post as while ago, but it wouldn't let me. I hope this one works. Love you guys!
