Our Little Ballerina


Grace had her recital today and it was so darling. She and I went early (1pm) for her to practice and do her hair and 'make-up' with all of the other girls.




By 2:30p she was all made up and went to sit and watch the other girls practicing. She was so darling, so nervous and already a bit tired. I could hardly get her to eat or drink anything because of her nerves and was so grateful that her teacher took her out of the auditorium to stretch and relax before their big number so she could laugh and giggle with the girls.



Ken's Mom, Dad & Stepmom, Sister Jessi and brother-in-law Chris, all joined our family to support our little Grace. She was so excited all day, asking if it was time to get ready yet. As soon as her dance was over she came and sat in my and Ken's lap, curled up in a little ball, to watch the rest of the dancers. Oh how fun this day was for us. Thank you Gracie for all of your hard work.

    Gracie, next time we see you, could you please dance for us?
