Emilyn's Christmas Dance Recital

Emilyn's Christmas Dance Recital
December 14

Emilyn has really enjoyed dance this year.  She is so excited to go each week, and really seems to be learning.  She has loved being in the same class with three friends too, Lillie, Megan, and Lydia.  She sings and dances all over the house.  She was especially excited to perform for the Christmas Recital to the Mr. Grinch song.  She was not shy or nervous, and she danced her little heart out!  We had front row seats to watch her perform.  The first few pictures are from the dress rehearsal a couple of days earlier.

 The big day!

 Emilyn was SO excited to wear Mommy's make-up!

 The foot pop is a popular pose right now!

 Matisyn had a primary party she didn't want to miss so she wasn't able to come to the performance.

 We got to see Santa after the recital.  I had to add this picture of Lillie's family, since Owen's reaction to Santa was so similar to Lucas's below!

 Emilyn was especially happy to get another dance medal.

 Lucas's face seems to get more and more desperate as the pictures go on!  I saved him pretty quickly.  He was happy to take a sucker from Santa once I was holding him, not to eat, but to play with the crinkly wrapper!  I would say that so far Lucas is not a Santa fan!  Maybe he'll come around next year!
