Kate's 2011 recital

I can not believe I have not done a post about Kate's recital! It was actually in mid-May, and she loved it. That girl sure thrives on performing. The theme of the recital was "Shopping Spree" and all the dances were based on a different store. There was a flower shop, jewelry store, toy store, sporting goods and many more. Kate's ballet class was an antique shop and they were antique dolls. It was really cute!

Here is Kate before the recital starts. She is ready to go! (and looking so grown up!) My little ballerina! Great form Kate!Kate after the recital with her flowers. She was so excited to get them, and wanted them in her room after we put them in a vase.

Kate's friend Max (and his Mom Deb and sister Taylor) came and watched Kate perform and then came over to the house to bring Kate a little gift (an adorable flower ring that I can barely get her to take off now). This made her exceptionally happy! (Deb, thanks so much for doing this. It meant so much to Kate and me!)

Thanks Deb for getting a photo of the WHOLE family. It doesn't happen too often.

We get the video in the next month, and I can't wait to see it again. Kate really can't wait to see it. Kate has decided to not do ballet anymore. She is pretty good at it, and really seemed to enjoy it. Maybe she will come back to it after trying some other activities. She says she wants to to cheerleading, baseball, gymnastics and piano. I just can't keep up...
