First Dance Recital!

No apparent pre-show jitters here!

I didn't get any pictures of the dance itself. I was scared off by their teacher's
serious warning not to use your flash during the performance. I do have a
grainy video of her dance, though. They were the last group to come out and "take a bow" which, sadly, never happened.
Lil's group was the only one that didn't get to take a bow and she was bummed! She's mentioned it 3 times today!

Our truly tiny dancer.

Lilly started getting sick the day of her recital. She had a small fever, was lethargic, coughing, sneezing, etc... Alan is suffering, Max is just getting over his cold. So, I was worried that Lil wouldn't want to go. She was a trooper! She did a great job even though she didn't look at the audience during her dance. She kept her head locked to the side, looking just at her little companions. She looked so cute in her costume. We had a little bouquet of flowers that we presented to her at the end. She looked surprised, "You were here? Did you see me dance?" Apparently she thought we were just dropping her off to perform in front of 600 people while we went out to dinner. As we drove away from the venue, she said "I think I'll keep dancing. I could do that again." Cute girl.
