Ballet, 2013





The duo's dance recital was Saturday night, and to say that excitement at our house was running high would be a gross understatement.  There is something about putting on a new costume and heading to the theatre that makes them giddy. 




 
This year, they took the performance much more seriously. 



Although they were literally jumping up and down in their seats, they pulled it together on stage.

 
Gracie's long arms and legs look especially graceful this year. 



Lauren enjoyed herself so much she was genuinely sad to leave the theatre once the show was finished.


Gracie, on the other hand, was on an adrenaline high and was not the least bit sad.

 
After the morning's rehearsal and before the afternoon show, we walked around and took some posed photos. 

 
The had their own ideas about posing, of course.


When first learning the studio held recitals each year on Mother's Day weekend (see how I just extended Mother's Day to an entire weekend:), I was a little baffled.  However, after watching dozens of little girls dance excitedly around the theatre, the scheduling makes complete sense. 


 
Watching these beautiful girls dance on the stage is the best gift, and the timing could not be better.


 
Congratulations, Lauren and Gracie, on the best recital yet!
