The girls took ballet classes again this year and both did a really good job learning their dances (and making friends in their classes). They had their dance recital this weekend and we are so proud of how well they did!

The day of the recital, Abby had swimmers ear and it was hurting her really badly. She was certainly not quite herself, but still loved getting all made up for the recital. Both of the girls thought they looked SO gorgeous with the stage make-up on! It was funny since really they looked kind of strange all made up. They even asked me "is this how you did your make-up for your wedding, mommy?"

Haley and Abby both looked darling and did a great job on stage. I debated for weeks about whether or not to bring Seth with us or to have him stay with a babysitter. I finally decided to have him come, and he LOVED it. He sat nicely through the whole thing and really loved seeing the girls dance on the "big, big stage".
Pretty much as soon as I got the girls off the stage at the end of the recital, they fell apart. I think Haley was overwhelmed by all the people there to see her, and Abby's ear was really hurting her. I had a lot of pictures I really wanted to get, and I just had to let it go. They just weren't up for taking pictures.
We got them out of their costumes, some more tylenol in Abby and took them (with Auntie Laura and Uncle Nate) to a self-serve frozen yogurt pace. They loved putting on whatever toppings they wanted and we had a really fun time enjoying our yummy treats.
Way to go Haley and Abby! We love you so much and are really proud of you:)
