Our tiny dancer

Maddie had her spring recital this weekend. She got her costume at her last dance practice on Monday and it was killing her because I wouldn't let her wear it before the recital because something would happen to it, and the next thing you know I am googling how to get some random stain out of purple tulle! So Friday was her practice and Saturday was her recital. A big thank you to Kellie who helped me out while I tried to videotape her practice performance. Josh was running late from work and I was crazy thinking I would be able to videotape, take pictures and juggle two kids all at the same time! (You could only tape and take pictures at the practice...dumb!) She did a great job and was so excited for the recital the next day. After her performance, we gave her a boquet of flowers and you would have thought they were a million dollars. She squeaked and squeeled when she saw them. Her future husband will have to know that a couple of carnations are all it takes to keep her happy! So between the "princess" tutu costume and the flowers, her day was as she put it in her prayers that night "the most perfect day I have ever had". That made it all worth it. Oh, and she hasn't taken the costume off since...
