Emma is an old pro at this now.

Ellie's First recital


Emma and Ellie just had their Christmas Ballet recital. Emma did very well. Her class looks so much better then last time. Not that they looked bad. They have just improved. This was Ellie's first time to have a recital. I had many sleepless nights before the performance. I was worried she would lay down and be nervous, or be made fun of. All of my worrying was not needed. She got out there and danced just as well as all the other girls. She was probably the most dramatic. My favorite part was when it was time to go off stage she didn't want to. The dance teacher had to come and get her. As she went off she had another round of applause all for her. I of course started to cry. It was very touching. She even got a "Way to go Ellie!" Shout out. Granted it was Joy Bouck my good friend, but it still was nice. At the end of the performance all of the classes come out and take a bow. Emma's class was hilarious. They did their straight leg circle skip 5 times compared to one time for the others. It was really cute. Then Ellie's class came out, Ellie went right to the edge of the stage waved and YELLED hello to everyone over and over and over. Then she laid down and waved to all of the people in the front row. It was so cute. All in all it was a really wonderful time. I will post pictures tomorrow.
