FIVE YEARS OLD!!

We can hardly believe it has been five years since our little ballerina princess entered the world. She started out as a round, bald eating and sleeping machine. Five years later, she has blossomed into a petite, graceful, enchanting, charming, compassionate and outgoing young lady.

BIRTH DAY!

Dancing Queen

It's official! I have been bitten by the performing bug! Last week I performed in my very first big dance recital. We had been practicing for months, and I was so excited to show off my hard work to everyone! My two ballet BFF's - Ella and Amelia, were as happy as I was that it was FINALLY recital day!

Waiting patiently backstage!

"On The Good Ship Lollipop" - I am third from the right :)

My teacher, Miss Elaina, was the best ballet teacher a dancer could ask for!

I was so happy to be able to perform for my Aunt Barb, Grandma Betsy, Claire...

JoePa, Aunt Amy, Aunt Sammi,

and Mommy and Daddy!

Daddy and Aunt Amy gave me beautiful flowers after my performance. I told Mommy that I LOVED being onstage, and I wasn't nervous at all. I could get used to being a ballerina!!

The first ten seconds or so are cut off, but here is some of my debut!!
