Spring Ballet Recital


The little girls have been excited for this day for a long time.  I'm just glad it was in April this year to help alleviate all of the May Madness that comes with the end of the school year.  They wanted to pose for pictures before we left.



(Love the ballerina poses.)
The recital was The Secret Garden.  Duffy was a Rosebud Ballerina.  Of course, the most exciting part was that they got to keep their costumes this year.









Amelia was a Little Lady in the Garden.
As always, one of the best parts is being in ballet class with their cousins.  Amelia and Ellie even got to be partners for their dance.  So fun!



















Afterward, they were excited to get flowers.
All the cousins together.

Duffy kept asking for days before whether I thought she would get any flowers.  Phew!  Good thing we remembered, although Shawn did have to run and get them on the way to the recital.  But still, mission accomplished.  (Better than last year when we had to stop by the store after the recital to pick some up because I had forgotten.)
Amelia got to perform in the afternoon recital as well.  She was a "Butterfly Catcher".  She danced with the littlest ballerinas who needed a little help - the Bitty Butterflies.
Amelia and her Bitty Butterfly, Maren.


And then she also did her other dance a second time as well.  It was fun to get to see her dance multiple times.





One more spring performance checked off the list!
