Laynee has been taking dance since last summer and they finally got to do a dance recital! I was so excited to see it all come together and for her to get to finally perform. This week they had to have practices every morning and a dress rehearsal the night before. It was suppose to get these littlest girls ready to be on the stage and not get scared. They don't get to bring their costumes home until the second performance (tonight!) is over and I think she is most excited to get to keep it!
Getting ready for the recital. Laynee loved getting to put a little makeup on.
Purple is her favorite color lately so she was very pleased that it was the color of the costume. I think they had the cutest costumes of all the groups--although we also paid the most for their costumes!!
She wasn't a bit shy. She told me that her sleeves were tight on her arms so she couldn't stretch her poses as much as she was supposed to. They practiced on this stage all week with no one in the audience. When they did their little routine they came over to a corner and laid on a star pillow to wait for everyone to finish. When the audience started to clap they all looked up with such wonder. I don't think they realized people --or how many-- were out there watching this time. Afterwards, she got some flowers and it made her day! Thanks to Daddy, Rhett, Addy, Grandpa Bill and Grandma Jewell, Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sandra and Grandma Ellen for coming and supporting Laynee!!!
