YMCA Dance Recital Spring 2012

Stell loves ballet and all things that surround it so naturally I thought she would she would be all about her recital...especially because this would be her second go at it...she should know the ropes right? Nope...my first clue was on the way to the recital when she said "Mom I only dance on Saturdays."

She seemed fine and perky when we arrived...



and hugs for BFF Lylee...



She actually got out on stage...but hands immediately went in the mouth:)



Lylee was a star from the get go...



but then started disrobing:( Something bothered her in her costume...the audience had a good laugh...and so did we...



She walked around with the class but refused to perform...because she only performs on Saturdays.



Aston passed out during the riveting show...and Stell was disappointed in her performance...we gave her lots of hugs and kisses and she eventually perked up...poor babe...just turned 3 and expected to get up on stage in front of hundreds!



Meme gave the girls a very special gift...matching pink princess crown necklaces...I was so touched...Stell keeps it in her fancy jewelry box for special occasions:) It's her absolute fave.



Maelyn was there! 2 weeks old:)



Still disgruntled, Stell wouldn't pose for a pic with Lylee...so Aston jumped right in to the rescue...such ladies man



So glad Pop made the show! We walked around the Green for a bit after the recital...



and ended up at E2 for dinner...phew...I was in desperate need of a drink after the day we had...and this was the only the beginning...she had another recital the following weekend for Miller Street dance...oh boy
