RECITAL 2011
Mommy doesn't even know where to begin with recital! The first thing that comes to mind is what a busy week it is!! It begins on a Tuesday where you have studio rehearsal. Then you begin the dress rehearsal with Act I on Thursday and Act II on Friday. After all the rehearsing the recital begins on Saturday with another show on Sunday! Mommy is always tired but you girls always seem to have plenty of energy to dance your hearts out!!
This year was a "costume year" for your dance studio and the theme was Shreck!! When mommy first found out the theme I didn't know what to think but wow was I surprised!!! It was amazing! Every time one of you enters the stage it completely takes my breath away! I get so frustrated with myself because for half of the dance it's hard for me to focus because my eyes fill with tears! (This happens every time!) It's nice when it's over because we can all relax and fully kick off summer vacation but a part of me is always sad for it to end.

| Ready for Recital *Alexa Rae* |
This year you received your diamond necklace from Ms. Lorna for completing 12 years of dance!
Your daddy wanted to be there so bad but with shift work he could not make recital this year to escort you on stage to receive your award. Daddy was able to make the dress rehearsal to see y'all dance!!
Saturday Uncle Sean escorted you on stage and Sunday Paw Paw escorted you. They were both honored to be there for you on this special day and your Mom couldn't have been more proud! These past 12 years have flown by and I know you may have 2 or 3 more years to dance on stage at recital and that will be it! You have been dancing in our lives ever sense you were born and I know that even though recitals for you are coming to an end you will dance in your Mamma's heart forever!!

My precious Ella Jo, you are such a joy in our lives! I think you are the cutest and funniest 3 year old I've ever seen! Both of your dances were in the first Act so when you were finished but both of your sisters still had dances you were upset! On Saturday you fell asleep in your Aunt Kimberly's lap but on Sunday you enjoyed the rest of the recital! You kept whispering in my ear.."Mommy...I wanna dance again!" and it has been days since recital and you are still asking to dance on the big stage! You have grown so much the past year and I am so proud of how much you have learned in your ballet and gym class!! When you would come home from dance you would show us some of your latest "moves" you have learned and would be so proud to dance around!!! You are Mommy and Daddy's "Tiny Dancer" and complete our hearts with everything you bring to us!
