Leapin' Lizards!

Madi has been in dance since she was two. This has been her first year of ballet, although I have been informed that it is actually called "creative movement" until she turns eight, which is when she will start learning official ballet. Good thing that was clarified because I don't think her lizard moves are exactly ballet poses. Regardless of what it is called, she has had so much fun! She has looked forward to dance each week. She has especially loved taking it with one of her best friends, Kate.

Not the best picture, but it gives you an idea of some of their lizard moves.

Madi and Kate have know each other since they were babies. They are lifelong friends for sure. They have taken dance together for the past two years and have had a blast!


Madi loves her grandma and aunts and they were at the top of her list to invite. They were good to sit through an hour and a half of ballet to see Madi perform for two minutes. I have told them they only have 16-20 more yeas of recitals. :)

Daddy surprised Madi with some flowers. She loved them!


You'll notice Ty missing from this picture. The recital was really upscale, live orchestra, amazing costumes and also no children under five allowed. Sorry Ty!


Madi had a great experience. She loved it so much, we are going to try it again next year!

Look how cute she is! So glad she had a good time. Those recitals can be scary and fun but mostly fun.
Umm....I think we have you beat on the length of the recital though. Hannah's last year was....and this is no lie......5 hours long and she was in the finally so we had to stick around for the whole thing.....So out of control!!!!
