Kaelyn had her big, annual, ballet recital on Saturday. The theme for this year's recital was "The Circus", so each performance represented some part of the circus. Kaelyn was a Prancing Pony, (which she loved, since she, for whatever reason, has always loved horses). It has been a lot of fun watching her learn ballet. My favorite is when she puts on her ballet music and she and Kenna dance around--Kenna calls it "dancing balleret".
Here we are on the way to the Performance Center. Kaelyn had to wear her hair in a high pony tail. Her hair is just barely long enough--so several bobby pins and a few squirts of hair spray did the trick!
Here she is going backstage. She said she wasn't nervous, but earlier in the week, she said she was getting butterflies thinking about her performance. It is held in a pretty big convention center with about 800 seats, and a huge stage, so even I was a little nervous for her!
We let Kaelyn pick a restaurant after her recital and she picked Olive Garden. ( She has been wanting to go their for a long time because she remembers going a few years ago and getting the yummy Andes mint afterwards. I've been telling her that's not a great restaurant to take Jaren and Kenna to --but that I would be happy to buy her a package of the mints- no deal!) Anyway, since Jaren and Kenna were with a babysitter, it was a perfect time to take her. We had a wonderful evening with her--she is getting so goofy (I blame Greg for that) and kept us laughing the entire time. It's always a treat to spend some one-on-one, (or actually 2-on-one) time with our kiddos.

Wish we could have been there to see the performance! What cute costumes! I'm sure she did great! Tell Kaelyn we are proud of her!
