Lu's First Dance Recital!

This weekend was Lu's big dance recital! She takes dance at this really cute studio that encourages the girls to "move to music." They have a live pianist who plays during every class and a large one-sided mirror so moms can watch. It has been so much fun watching her and hanging out with the other moms every week. The recital was an interpretation of The Very Quiet Cricket and Lu's class were the "apple snappers." We were really excited to see the culmination of such a fun year, but I was also a little sad that it was ending and also a little nervous after the Christmas show and the crying...

But, I worried for nothing, because she did awesome! We were on the front row (yeah, that's right) at both the dress rehearsal and the recital. Her little class did such a good job, and she smiled and waved and just had the best time the whole time! Some of these pictures were taken by Z. He grabbed my mom's phone and insisted he take pictures during her dance. He also said she was the best and prettiest apple snapper ballerina in the whole world.

 

 

 

They sang Three Little Birds by Bob Marley for the finale. Good Lord, that was a tearjerker.

The recital was the perfect finale to a fun-filled weekend! Can't wait until next May when we get to do it all over again!
