This time last Friday, we were getting ready to watch our sweet 5 year old ballerina perform in her first ballet recital! I am very sad that I do not have ANY pictures of her in her costume!! I have purchased a CD that will have individual pictures of Helen, but right now I do not have any! I really appreciate that her teacher is very economical and that we borrow the costumes rather than buy them, but I never had my camera with me when she had it on and when I did have my camera, they had already helped her undress from her costume! Anyway, she had a blast and I don't think she stopped smiling ALL night! It was a wonderful performance....so honoring to our Creator and each dance truly shared the message of Christmas so beautifully! All of my pictures show the smile that was plastered on her face the entire evening! This first picture is after the recital was over and she received her flowers!
Posing for more pictures with that big smile!
Lillie was there to watch Helen!
Abigail and Kaelyn with Helen after the recital. Abigail was in two dances and the drama. Helen loves these girls!
Nana, Jill, Connor and Lillie came to see Helen. Papa was there, too....just not in the picture.
Helen and her friend Sophie posing with their flowers! Sophie is in Helen's class every Monday afternoon.
Helen with her biggest fans and supporters...Mom, Dad, Beckett and Will!
Granbob, Grankaki and Auntie Mame traveled a long way to come see Helen's ballet debut! So glad they could all be here with us!
When we got home, we celebrated with ice cream and opened Christmas presents from Auntie Mame since we will not be with her this Christmas!
Helen received a new pink "peace sign" lap quilt that Auntie Mame made for her! She is loving it!
One last picture of our ballerina posing in front of our Christmas tree!
She is already talking about the Spring recital! Such fun!
