Lily had her dance recital on Saturday. She did such a wonderful job. We got her ready in her dance outfit, showed her off to some friends and family and then took her to her recital. We were to be there 1 hour before the show, and of course, this was the day that Lily did not take a nap as she was too excited for everyone to see her perform. So.. when we got to the show to drop her off in her waiting room with the "Babysitters" ( yes, they had babysitters watching the kids so the parents and family members could enjoy the show without the kiddos ...it was wonderful ( and Nolan was with Aunt Kay and Uncle Bob for the evening) ), she decided that she didn't want to be in there and started to cry hysterically. I think she was nervous because it was so overwhelming for a little one ( she wasn't the only one in her class to cry backstage) So, right before she went on stage, I found my seat by Chris, Mom and Dad VV, Mom E, David and Jenna, and watched her perform. It was so so cute. Just Darling!! We were so proud of her. She did such a great job and the little girls even got some laughs from the audience. Her class was the youngest one to perform. After the show, everyone brought her flowers which was so so nice. She loved it and I know she felt like a star. She had the biggest smile on her face. Thanks to you guys for coming to her show and being there to supporting her. That means so so much to her to have you there. Unfortunately we were only allowed 7 tickets so some had to miss out but we got some video of her at her dress rehearsal for all to see. The show was two hours. I have never been to a dance recital before and it was so neat. The talent that these girls have is just amazing. They asked us not to snap photos of the girls at the recital but we just had to take a few !!
