Avery's Dance Recital

Avery had her first dance recital on Saturday. There are 5 girls in her class and they all did wonderfully. No one froze with stage fright or waved to their parents and everyone participated! We were so proud! Avery did an excellent job - overall, she kept up with her teacher and even jumped a move ahead a few times. She kept her tongue poking into her cheek - a sign that she was really concentrating. It was so fun to watch them.

Griffin came to the recital and actually enjoyed it. Lots of music and costumes kept his attention. After some of the older girls did a disco dance in which they really "shook their stuff," Griffin announced "this one's my favorite!" What a boy!

Avery's ballet dance was called The Secret Garden. The girls started out hiding in huge flower pots. It was adorable. I'm posting a ton of pictures but they aren't very clear because I wasn't allowed to use my flash and the place was pretty dark...but you can at least get the idea!

Their tap dance was called Choo Choo Chaboogie. They came out holding each other's shoulders - forming a train. It was really cute as well. I loved the sassy little costumes!

avery was so excited to go see daddy afterwards - she said " I gotta go see how proud daddy is of me!" So precious...and she was thrilled with her flowers!
