Dancing Through the Seasons

"Dancing Through the Seasons" was the theme for Lilly's dance recital.  I'm not quite sure, but I think Lilly's class represented summer...maybe.  Well, whatever season they were, it was really really cute. 

Here are Lilly and Avery modeling their costumes backstage.  Neither Tania (Avery's mom) or I were thrilled about the instruction to put blush and lipstick on our four year olds, but with a little color in their cheeks and a teeny bit of gloss they actually looked pretty on stage.

 Pretty girl ready to dance.

 On stage doing the tap routine to The Jackson 5's, "ABC".

 Tap-a-tap-a-tap-a.

 The ballet routine was to "You Are my Sunshine".  Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of he little pointed toes.  However, we did get some pictures of the girls receiving their trophies in their ballet tutus. 

After months of practicing the routines and not being allowed to play in the costume Lilly's favorite part of dance class was receiving a trophy.  The moment that she realized that there would be a trophy she couldn't think about anything else.
