It was finally Annabelle’s big night! Recital time arrived and she was quite anxious leading up to the big event. She practiced and practiced and was so dedicated to going to class. She never missed and took her lessons very seriously. She loves to dance, but told me she recital is her least favorite part. I’m so proud of her for overcoming her nerves and getting on that stage. 

She rocked all her dances! She did so great. My favorite is always her tap dance and this year didn’t disappoint. She was amazing! 

Annabelle really hates getting her picture taken….especially when she’s feeling anxious. I wanted to get some pictures of her before the concert but could see it just wasn’t the right time for her.

 As we waited for the show to start Lily and Gwyneth let me snap a few photos of them…

Annabelle quickly changed out of her costume after the show because she didn’t want pictures taken. Silly girl. She should know better. Of course, I’m still going to take pictures!

When we arrived home Annabelle was gracious enough to change into her hip hop costume for a few pictures with her family. She sure is an accommodating gal. She knows how much her momma likes to take pictures. 

Love this girl so much and love watching her dance!

And then just like that….this dance season is over! The girls work so hard all year for these special nights. I’m so, so proud of them. 

We had a great visit with Yaya and Lily. It was a long time for that little lady to be away from her momma. I hope that we spoiled her enough to make her want to come back and stay with us again.
