Little Bitty Pretty One

Our sweet little dancer had her first recital a week ago. She loves the stage. Loves it.  And anything on a stage.  So here are a few pics of the big day.

Look! Just like Mommy - some 30+ years ago.

Not even a little nervous.

After the show there were roses and pictures with Nan and Pop.

And Granma and Granpa.

Mason was having none of the picture taking.

Until, of course, he was riding on Daddy's shoulders.

Kate got a very special necklace from Mommy and Daddy.

Hug your brother. She looks a bit like she's tolerating it, no?

And then this.  Like a good Mom, I kept snapping pictures.

Oh, he's just trying to eat her necklace. Thank goodness.

Sweet this one. 

And loves her Pop so very much.  She got to go home with Pop after the dance. Mommy flew to Denver.

Smiley family. How blessed we feel to have each other. Every day.
