Elena's Second Dance Recital

Tonight was Elena's Second Dance Recital. She and the other girls have been practicing really hard for this. They were all super excited.

The recital was scheduled to start at 7:00. Because I signed up to be room mom again this year, Elena and I had to be there at 5:30. We got dressed and headed that way. My baby girl looked so beautiful.

Once kids started being dropped off, time started to fly. The kids watched the recital from backstage. They colored, snacked, played, anything to have a good time. We performed about 20 minutes after intermission. So once intermission came, we put shoes on the girls, checked hair and makeup and we were ready. We started to line up and boy did they get antsy. They were so excited.

When they got on stage though, they loved it. They were smiling and dancing. Elena's favorite part was shaking her behind and she sure did it cute!

Anyway, the recital was long, way long. We finally got out about 10:30 and home around 11:00. Landon crashed in the car the minute we got in. Elena stayed up and had dinner at home. She was so wired from all of the excitement.

She had a great time but hopefully this is the last one for a while. She doesn't want to take dancing next year so we will see if she sticks to that or not. As much as she loves it, she would rather take gymnastics.
