Dance Recital 2011

Before the recital, Madison had to get ready! This meant hair, makeup and costume! The dance instructor says that a little bit of makeup works with the lighting and helps show off their faces. So, we applied a little and she looked gorgeous! Oh, to have those eye lashes!!

Next, we headed to the beauty salon to get her hair done. She needed it put up into a tight bun. A work that only Grandma can do!
After getting her hair done, we headed for the recital venue. She had to be there an hour early for group photos. Grandma and I took her to her room and got her settled in. Before heading out, we took a few photos. The room was filled with excitement. The girls were giggly and anxious about performing. With all of the practices, we knew they'd do great.

The studio allows us to purchase a DVD of the event which we've done. This makes it nice so we can sit back and enjoy the actual performance without having a camera in our face blocking the view. We get to live in the actual moment!

A tradition for the dancers is to receive flowers from their family and friends. Every year we get a picture of Madison & Jordan together. Best friends and best dancers!

Congratulations Madison! You did a great job. We're so proud of you!
