Pretty Little Ballerina

This weekend was Emerson's ballet recital.  She was so excited that Gransan got to come down to watch.  She has been talking for weeks about Gransan bringing her flowers and getting a trophy and cookie from her teacher if she does good...the kid doesn't forget anything!  When Gransan got into town on Friday we headed out to do a little shopping.  On Saturday, we did some more shopping and a lot of playing and relaxing.  The recital was actually on Sunday this year because the annual Ironman competition fell on Saturday and you cannot get around anywhere in this area when that is going on.  Emerson looked absolutely adorable for the recital!  She didn't get quite as into the dances as she did last year but still did great.  This year her teacher had two seniors come to perform for the girls.  She was completely mesmerized watching them!  When we got home we spent some time outside playing.  When I got outside, Em came running towards me yelling:   "Momma, this is the best day ever!" 

As always, Gransan came bearing gifts!

Em got a magnetic ballerina dress-up set

Braelyn got a new purse, complete with phone, lipstick, and a debit card!

Since it was just a week after, we decided to celebrate Mother's Day when Gransan got here.

Being silly before show time!

She was so good to stand by us and wait even though her friends were running wild through all the guests that were there.

Yea!  It's finally showtime!

For this dance, they were supposed to start out "asleep".
