Beautiful Ballerina

Emerson has been taking ballet one day a week at school for the last several months and today was her recital.  We could not wait to see her dance!  We weren't sure exactly what she would do in front of all the people.  I don't know why we would have even questioned our little outgoing princess!  She did amazing!  She did all the little dance steps perfectly and between dances she would come give either me or Shawn a hug, a kiss, or a high five!  She has loved every second of her classes with Miss Natalie and it showed today!  We were so very proud of our beautiful ballerina!

Ready for her big debut!

I am so truly blessed!

I love this one of the little ballerina so happy to be with her Daddy.  She was so proud that she got to wear the locket her Daddy gave her.

We were so glad that Gransan and Patsy got to come down for the performance.  Obviously the girls were happy!

Emerson and Sadie before they went in for a short refresher before the performance.

On her "dot" ready to start.

Really excited to get the show started!

She did SO good watching Miss Natalie and doing all the steps.  She only got off a couple of times when she stopped to watch herself in the mirror or to look to make sure we were all watching!

Straddle!

Patiently waiting to show off her technique!

Perfect form!

This was so cute...they jumped over these little mirrors all the way across the floor.

It was her turn to go get her trophy!

After the trophy ceremony they got pink sprinkle cookies...does it get any better than that?!

Every ballerina needs flowers after their star performance...thank you Gransan!!!

When we got home she got to open her present from Mommy and Daddy for how awesome she did.

Angelina Ballerina movies and a Barbie ballerina!

Patsy treated the little star her adoring fans to Mexican food after the show!
