Hip Hip Horray!
Gracie was the star today!
Today was Gracie's very first ballet recital!
Here is the ballerina before the show.
She was super excited and thought it was pretty cool that she could wear some of Mommy's makeup. All day she kept talking about her ballet friends and how she was going to dance on the big stage. So at 4 pm, we headed to the Rialto.
I volunteered to be a helper parent so I got to head in and work behind the scenes. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. At first it was chaos. We were directed to the "green" room which apparently 10 other dance classes were told to go to. They had tables set up with activity packets and crayons for the girls to work on. They also had snacks and water too. Me and another mom were in charge of 10 little 3 and 4 year old ballerinas. What a task that was!
They were full of energy and although we had to occupy them for 2 and half hours, they looked simply adorable. They may have been the youngest group there, but they were the cutest for sure!
Meet the ballerinas, Lucy, Anna, Abbey, Maddie, Allie, Gracie, Emily, Emma, Maggie, and Natalie.
This was Gracie's special friend in ballet these last few months . In fact, she says that Maggie is her ballet BFF.
Here is some of what went on behind the scenes.
We ran into my cousin's Ken and Tammy's daughter Brooke. She take ballet too! She was dressed as a beautiful bride.
And then was also saw Ava, Gracie's friend from preschool. She was dressed like Cinderella.
And then after the show, Gracie was met with applause from Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, and Auntie Amy. She even got flowers! Brooke did too.
We are so proud of Gracie! She did a fantastic job. She was really one of the only ones in her group that didn't cry at some point. One poor little girl was even on stage crying. Oh well, all the girls danced their little hearts out anyways. We are just so proud of our little ballerina.
When we got home, Gracie was also given some cool presents. Auntie Amy gave her a ballerina bucket filled with books and coloring books that are all about ballet.
Grandma gave Gracie a ballerina Barbie! She LOVED that one.
And Mommy and Daddy gave her Sabrina the Ballerina, her book, and a paint-your-own ballerina girl.
