I found this in my "drafts" section and decided that, although incomplete, I should post it. It is from the week of May 19th!
1. What a busy weekend! Saturday we had Ellie's first ever dance recital (Nick's too!) This year the studio's recital theme revolved around favorite dances from years past to celebrate 10 years at the current studio space. Ellie and Nick had a father/daughter dance to "Hello Dolly." It was AWESOME! I may be a little biased, but I think it got the best crowd reaction of all the dances in the entire recital. The dress rehearsal the week before was a little rough, with Ellie scooting on the floor instead of dancing. But when it came time for the actual recital it was AMAZING! Yes, lots of caps in this one --- because I was that proud. The dad's smiled, the little girls hit almost all of their steps (a great feat for 3 & 4 year olds on stage for the first time) and the daddy kick-line had the crowd going wild. I will post a video of the dress rehearsal (since we are not allowed to take video during the recital). It is cute, but not nearly as wonderful as the actual recital--- you will just have to take my word for it.
2. After the recital Ellie received flowers for doing such a great job. She was on cloud 9 the entire night (and into the next day). She held onto the flowers the entire ride home, and immediately wanted to put them in vases and display them in her room. She was a little crushed when we told her she could not have them on her nightstand over night (because she would be up looking/smelling/kissing them all night). If only I had known how much she loved getting flowers! I guess we will have to save that special treat for next year's recital.
3. Sunday night had a trail work day for the mountain bike trails. The girls and I spent most of the day outside since it was so beautiful.
