winter recital

This year Addie's dance school had their first winter recital. It was a pretty low key production and I think Addie enjoyed hanging backstage with friends more than anything. As usual, I waited to put on her makeup until we got there, so she wouldn't smear it. But even with lots of warning that she would have to sit down and let me put it on when we got there, she still was itching to get up and play with friends. At one point she even said that I was just "bothering" her. Hmm...lovely moment. Can't wait till 13!
Aside from that nice mother-daughter moment, I was so proud of her for going right on stage and doing her thing! She seems to be thrilled to go to dance and absolutely loved her pinkalicious costume!
All lined up and ready to go on stage with friends, McKinley and Paige! (not sure of the other girls' names) 
Such cute girls!
Doing a little coloring while the girls waited for their turn on stage.
There were two performances one at noon and one at six. Kevin and Liam came to watch the later one, then headed backstage to give her flowers and in a sea full of little girls Liam picked her out and came running to her to give her a hug. Needless to say, that melted my heart.
This girl loves getting flowers!
Great job punkin! We love you!
