Tonight was Kennedy and Elizabeth's dance recital. These things are pretty crazy. Of course the girls looked really cute. Here they are all ready before the recital started.
They each danced two dances. Kennedy's first dance was her tap number to "A Spoon Full of Sugar". Her Second number was ballet to "Beauty and the Beast", I missed the beginning.
I was a "helping Mom" for Elizabeth's class. This means I had to sit with the kids in her class before they performed. Then help them get back stage and all set up for their dance. Elizabeth's class had a few props for their dances which made it a little difficult. So we get them lined up then rush out to watch them perform. Both of her dances were ballet. Her first was "Going to the Chapel". They had to wear veils and hold little bouquets of flowers.
After the first dance was done, we had to quickly get the girls ready for dance number two. When I say quick, I mean quick. Usually there is another dance in between each classes numbers, but Elizabeth's were one after another. So we had to gather veils and bouquets, and distribute buckets and get them lined up for the next dance in a matter of a minute. Needless to say, the music started, and they weren't lined up and ready. I only caught part of this dance, and you can't really see Elizabeth very well anyway. Oh well. It is all done and I am greatful for that!
We ended the evening with a trip to Wendy's for some treats.
Where is David and Mia, you ask? I had David stay home with Mia because she was really cranky. These recitals are long enough without dealing with a tired two year old.
And speaking of "So you think you can dance?", it starts this week. We like that show.

I love the dances -- how fun for the girls to get a chance to perform. And I totally understand not wanting to take a cranky toddler to a long recital.
We were sorry to hear that Dave didn't make the final cut on "So you think you can dance?" But just remind him that there is always next year! Practice! Practice! Practice!
SO CUTE! And Kristie, I just have to say...David better start collecting weapons now, because you are going to have boys absolutely knocking down your door for these girls. Thank goodness they have a big brother to up the intimidation factor!
very funny, Heidi! that would be something to post, if it was true!
I loved the dances, thanks for posting!
I'll have to record so you think you can dance tonight because it's Grey's season finale tonight. I really should stop watching that show, it's total trash...but i can't seem to let go.
The girls did great! Love the outfits too. What a fun night.
