Evangeline had her dance recital this weekend. She made her mama very proud. The girls in her class all did a wonderful job to the shock and surprise of the mothers that watch them each week. They were taught two very hard dances for 3/4 year-olds. Even as of last week's practice it wasn't looking like they were retaining much of them. However, I did know that no matter what it would be adorable. It was. I had tears of pride streaming down my face. After their first routine the mom's had to catch them backstage to change for their tap dance and 2 other mothers aside from myself had tears streaming down their faces as well. I'm not the only crazy one! We were all so proud of our "Mini Movers".
I remember being as excited as she was about getting to wear make up and costumes for recitals. She had fun pretending to do the things she sees me doing with my makeup after I was finished putting a little bit on her.
I snapped a few quick pictures in the yard before we had to leave. The purple is her ballet costume and the pink is tap. Of course I can't weed down my favorites any further, so I'm including them all.
This ones my favorite. It just makes me smile.
Practicing the Shirley Temple pout...kidding, she was actually getting cold.
She really loves this pink costume. I think the gloves were the selling point. She spent the whole rest of the day in this costume. She's excited she can wear them any time she wants to now. It's been hard for her to wait so long knowing they've just been hanging in her closet.

All of the girls got a medal and a certificate after the recital. Evangeline was absolutely thrilled to receive a "reward". She was very proud.
The family came over for a cookout afterwards. Colleen gave me a cute cupcake set for a gift and I've just been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it. Evangeline loved decorating the cupcakes with the fairy ballerinas.
