Tutu Cute!

Tutu Cute is right! Addison danced her little heart out on Sunday night at her recital with all her little friends. The dance company includes dancers from 18 months to high school so this recital is pretty big with over 80 dancers and 300-400 people were there to watch! Thankfully there were more participants this time around for her age group so I wasn't as embarrassed as I was back at the Christmas show! The mommy and me class performed a fun number together and all was going well until our little princess noticed she was on the big screen (there are two huge video monitors on the side of the stage)~ this stopped her dead in her tracks and she was in awe of herself for the remaining time on stage. She did manage to do a couple of moves and for that we are super proud of her! Although I go on stage with her for the first dance there are two other dances that she goes up with all the other kids. Not surprising but she loved it!  
She bounced, clapped, and remembered all her moves!
Here she is with her sister after the show!
and then a picture of the whole family!
I was a little sad because I realized this is probably the last time we would be on stage together for a mommy and me performance! She is now a big girl and this summer we will start attending a new class were parents aren't allowed! 
I loved having this time together with Addie. She is hilarious during her weekly classes and quite the little leader in her class. This is great except for the times when she choses to run across the floor, act like a monkey, or  not follow any directions!! However,  I am so happy to have been able to share this great experience with her. After the performance we headed back to our house to continue the celebration. 
We ate a nice home-cooked meal with lots of sweet treats to follow!
Love this picture of the cake and the little hand hovering over it! It didn't take long for Addison to help herself to some frosting!
After a super busy weekend with Kayden's first birthday and hosting a shower for Auntie Magee this was a perfect way to end the festivities! Great job Twinkle Toes we are proud of you! Just in case you wanted one last look at this costume!! Trying to figure it out how to reuse it again!! 
(maybe halloween?!?!)
This just makes me laugh :) I am pretty sure in about 20 years Addison will wonder what in the world I was doing dressing her like this!!
