My sister and niece, Sarah, came from Chicago to the girls' recital....we had a great time and loved that they stayed and spent the night...my mom is also here, she and Lisa sat together and we got to have Sarah with us in the balcony (the holding place for all of the dancers). I went every night as a 'helper'...by the end of the week, I had already formed a clique with some of the moms on the helper list...(the ones I could roll my eyes and make sarcastic comments to)...this is a find because for many, this dance recital is the Holy Grail of dancing...but for the astute few, we realize there is a very fine line between this and TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras....
Daddy/Daughter dance.
Riley waiting for the call to do her dance.Here is a peek at Tennille's dress rehearsal. Be kind....she is the youngest by about two years and this was the first night she was dancing without having the mirrored wall in front of her.
This dance company always hold an optional daddy/daughter dance number for the night of the recital...it is always hilarious because the dads have no talent...it is voluntary and many of the dads opt out, but my girls really love dancing with Dave and he is a good sport. This year, our friend Jeff also danced with his daughter, and Dave took him up to the front row at the Friday night recital. Both men did an awesome job. This year's theme was 'medieval'...they danced to something from 'Spam-a-Lot', among other songs...and everyone brought their own costumes for this number. Dave decided to be a "Friar Tuck" kind of monk...and of course, the girls were princesses.
Always very fun, but also very exhausting by the end of the week.

So great! Loved Tenille's moves and the Friar has got talent.
That was great, I need to show it to Will. I think he's going to be very grateful that our girls aren't into dance :) Kudos to Dave :)
