Recital Time!

I can't believe it...another year has come and gone and we were at Claire's second Dance Recital today!  

They danced to "Blame it on the Boogie" this year.

She did a great job and loves to be on stage!

She loves to swing her pony tail!

We have spent the last two years with these sweet friends every Wednesday morning.  As all these girls start kinder next year, we sure will miss these families and our weekly visits at dance class.

Nana and Opa came to watch her perform today...

Kevin and I with Claire after her performance.  We were there all day, through lunch and nap time so Clark was having a blast at home with a babysitter!  He would not have been a happy camper trying to sit still for nearly 3 hours during the recital.

Me and my sweet girl...

and since I wasn't blogging back in 2015 here are a few pics of her first dance recital, last year...

Getting her make up on.  This was her first time to wear all this make up.  It was a special mother daughter time to teach her what it all was and how to put it on!  Very fun!!

Claire and her Lita

Dancing to "Rockin' Robin"  I'll never forget their "tweet-tweet" moves.  This was by far our favorite dance ever!  So adorable!

Lots of flowers!!!

With kinder starting in a few short months, we told Claire to choose one activity she would like to do and she chose gymnastics...so we will be taking a break from dance next year.  It is bittersweet, but I know that going to school 5 days a week all day long and starting early in the mornings is going to rock our world, so we are going to take it easy!  I am so proud of her!  I sure do love seeing her smile and her joy when she is on stage!  I remember feeling like she was so little when we signed up for lessons...and how in only 2 years she has grown up SO very much.  Absolutely amazing...it is such a blessing and a privilege to be her mommy and Clark's mommy too!
