Ballet recital

So last Tuesday, (yes, a long time ago, I'm sorry.) Anna-Kate had her first ballet recital. It was precious. Amazing Daddy that he is, Chris took off work early to come and promised his ballerina a trip to Johnny's (pizza) for being such a good dancer. All of the girls getting last minute instructions from their teacher:



We started a little slow. She just stood there for about 30 seconds.



Brilliantly, I signed the word for "eat" to her, she got the picture (ie, no dancing, no pizza) and went right to it.



We don't have many pictures, mostly video.

**I've spent hours waiting for this to upload...it'll have to be another night.**

And finally, a curtsy. (and please notice the "bun". I used five bobby pins. God bless her, she has my fine hair. She was so proud of her hair being like a "real ballerina" though. We had to redo it in between the ballet and tap number and then again before dinner.

The before and after photos (same pose) would make a good entry in the Photo Journalism category of a photo contest. They really tell a story--especially with your captions!
