Oh, You Beautiful Doll

This year Lilly got to take tap and ballet and the year ended in a great performance. She loves dancing and had so much fun with the girls in her class. Even though she wanted a pink dress, she was very excited to get to wear this costume, but most of all, she couldn't wait to put on make-up. Luckily Stacy had a class to show us how to do the make-up for stage performances, as I wouldn't have known.





We've been singing, "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" for almost 6 months now. I have to admit, I'm ready for a new song!





Lilly and Miss Stacy, her teacher. She is so patient with the girls and is a great teacher. Lilly can't wait for the summer session to start!

First Dance Receital

Lilly had her first receital this past weekend. It was so cute. Her teacher, Miss Stacy, made headbands for all the girls to wear and they did their tap dance for a crowd of about 80 people. It was too cute. She did a great job and really likes to dance, so I think we've found a good outlet for some of her energy!

Our Ballerina

I finally did it. I signed Lilly up for her first 'extra-curricular' activity. I took her on Saturday to try out the dance class and she absolutely loved it! Of course, our shy daughter, was the first to answer questions and volunteer to try out the steps. Andy and Dad stayed home, so I think this will be perfect mother-daughter time. Here are some pictures of her in her ballet shoes and tap shoes. She said she likes ballet better, so Great Grandma Snook will be thrilled! Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll have more pictures and video of our budding star!




Look at that form, and she seems to get so high on her toes already!




Seriously, she looks so grown up here. What has happened to my baby?!?! Sorry, just had to have a moment there....
