Ballet Recital Day!

Today is finally the day of Reese’s ballet recital.  She is beyond excited!  Yesterday was her dress rehearsal…full costume, make-up, and hair done.

They first started by finding their places on the stage.

Then they ran through their dance two times and worked out any kinks they had.

Because Reese was sick last Friday she missed her last ballet class but I think getting to be up on this big stage made up for that.

She seemed to be in awe and completely comfortable.

All of the parents were standing at the edge of the stage snapping pictures and videos.  The girls didn’t seemed to be distracted at all by this.

I hope Reese will be just as comfortable tonight for the recital as she was during rehearsal.

This picture below is one of my favorites.  It just makes her look like such the little ballerina.

She LOVES ballet and I know she is going to love it just as much next year.

Here she is with her little buddy Callie.  We met Callie at gymnastics and then followed her to ballet once Reese saw a video of Callie dancing.

After their rehearsal they wanted to watch all of the other little princesses dance.  We were there for two hours watching rehearsals because Reese did not want to leave.

I know she is going to have a blast tonight and I can not wait to see it all.
