Anna's 1st dance recital!

It was a lot of fun to create this invitation, with Anna's help of course! Those are her tap dancing feet! Anna's first dance recital happened to fall on Father's day...so it made for a busy and exciting day! Anna has been really excited for the recital because she couldn't wait to wear the costumes.
All her practicing really showed! She did a great job and had a lot of fun with her friends.

Her dance class's first performance was a tap routine to a Shirley Temple song, "Animal Crackers in My Soup." They wore a zebra printed tutu with matching hair band and ribbons on the tap shoes. Anna likes this song a lot and still sings it.

The second performance was a ballet routine to songs about cats.
"Everybody wants to be a cat!"
Anna really enjoyed wearing the black tutu with kitty cat ears and a tail.
At the recital, Anna and her friend Ailey took center stage together when they stepped up out of the line of kitties and danced.
It was quite cute.
For the finale, all the dancers came on the stage with their trophies.
Anna is so proud of her trophy.
It was a great reward for all her hard work this year.

When I went to pick her up from the dressing room after the recital, she asked with a disappointed look on her face,
"is it really all over?!!"
It was so precious.
All she wanted to do was keep dancing, keep singing.
She definitely does not have a problem with stage fright.

Good job Anna!
You are growing to be a wonderfully delightful young lady.
And you will always be my little chunky monkey baby girl.

Many thanks to: Amy, Jennifer, Amanda, Ed, and Grandpap for helping to make her first recital so special!!!
