Girl's 1st Dance Recital

The girls had there 1st dance recital Saturday night!

Isla's Ballet routine was the bunny hop!

Nixon's 1st routine was jazz.

She called herself the "hot girl"

(because her outfit was hot pink)

They did not allow taking pictures or

video at the recital

but a got a few pictures at

dress rehearsal the night before!

This was opening act. All the dancers

went on stage with boas and sunglasses

to the music of "Vive Las Vegas"

Isla did great at rehearsal but

decided the night of the show

she was not gong on stage!

Nixon Grace practicing the opening act.

Nixon and Isla had several people

cheering them on in the audience!

Gue came to see the show!

Preacher and Nina!

Haley!

Mommy and her girls!

Roman stayed with Mrs. Tracey during the show.

But if you look closely at Nixon's

arm he bit a big chunk out of it so that

we will remember him in all the pictures! :)

(thankfully the black eye he gave her had healed

and her outfit covered the bite marks on her stomach

...needless to say I have a very abusive son)

Nixon was excited about hanging out with

her good friend Tatum from dayschool!

Nixon entertained herself for many

hours backstage with coloring!

wonderful job on both

Isla ready for opening act.

(too bad she never made it on stage)

She did go on stage for her ballet routine but she

cried the entire time and didn't dance. :/

She's only three and it was her

first time on stage.

I am very proud of her for just going out there!

Nixon dressed for ballet! She was beautiful!

Nixon gave Isla a pep talk to get her to

not cry during her tap dance.

Apparently it worked!

Isla went out and did a fabulous job!

Trophies!!!!!

I have been bribing the girls with trophies

since Christmas at dance practice.

I am not sure where their obsession

with trophies came from?

But that is all they cared about!

Aunt Dee and Gue were so proud of the girls!

Haley and Michelle cheered them on!

We loved seeing the girls dance and have their first stage experience!

They both want to try gymnastics next year.

Jared is for it because it means no forever long recital! :)
