Under the Big Top

This weekend was Emma's dance recital, 'Under the Big Top'.  The morning started early with hair, make up and glitter :) 

She posed herself for this one!  She really isn't crazy about the weekly practicing part but she sure loves to perform :)

Emma and fellow ballerina beauties; Seline, Ashanti and Jayda!  Their ballet number was to "Puppet on a String".  

Jazz was her absolute favorite!!  This one was to "Do You Believe in Magic?"

Most of the group right before going on stage :)

Our happy girl :)  (Don't worry, her daddy made her remove the makeup shortly after we returned home.  I think it made him nervous that she looked so grown up!)

Dancers in action....

Coaches' kids (Vivian and Emma)

Their tap routine was to "Inside the Pocket of a Clown".  

Owen presented his favorite big sister with flowers and a balloon when her name was called.

He was thrilled that she received a trophy for participation and insisted on helping her hold it for the photo ;)

Way to go Emma!  Another job well done :)  We are so proud of you and love you lots!

The four of us :)
