Lauri Wilson dance recital

Emma's big debut was today! She got to show off all her dancing skills (she LOVES to dance) that she learned this year at Lauri Wilson dance. She went every Monday to learn jazz, tap and even alternated every 3 weeks with some tumbling! This morning she asked her Nanny if she was going to get something for her for after the recital...like a gift. When her Nanny asked her if she was supposed to, she said YES. She also went on to say that she was supposed to get a gift or some flowers...whatever she preferred. Alrighty then!

Here she is in her first dance costume before the recital began: Here she is dancing on the stage:

This is the best picture I could get of her second dance (the lighting made it hard to take a picture):

Here she is at the end of the recital with her best friend, Maddie Lucas.

Here she is with her big sister, Bailey and her cousin, Cassie.

We were so excited to have everyone come to see Emma dance. Nanny, Aunt Carey, cousin- Olivia came in from Amarillo and Papa and Cassie drove in from Texas City. I tried to get a few pictures of PaPa at the recital- his hand was holding up his chin most of the time and at one time, we thought he was asleep. We all thought it was so funny...then, Jackson fell asleep on Papa and I was able to get that shot once the recital was over! Boys and recitals, I guess, don't go together!!

We were glad to have them none the less and appreciated everyone coming to see her final dance for the year. I know it meant a lot to her and she worked so hard this year! We are so proud of her.
