Abigail's Ballet Recital

It's over a month ago...but I still had to post it! Abigail had her first Ballet Recital on December 18th at Barlow High School. My parents were still in town from going to the beach together, and my brother and his new wife were on their way to my parents house for Christmas, so she had quite a cheering crowd all gathered to see her!

It started at 4:30 and her little group of four girls didn't do their 3 minute dance until 6:30!! It was lonnnggg, but fun to watch. At least for me...I was sitting with Abigail back in her group, waiting for her class's turn to come up. Joel & my parents had the exhausting job of trying to keep Elijah & Caleb entertained that whole time. We all made our exit shortly after Abigail's performance. There were another 11 dances after hers!

I was video taping, my mom had our camera and my brother took a few pictures with his camera! I think we were pretty well covered for her big debut! : ) 

So here she is before we left, excited to be wearing make-up!

We weren't allowed to take pictures with a flash, so my mom got this one before the lights were up and it's one of my favorites! From the angle where my parents sat and took pictures, she was directly in front of the tree, so her little tutu got lost in all the Christmas tree lights. My brother was a couple seats over and could zoom in better with his camera, so he got a few pictures too!

 

And, of course...the video! It's mostly for family to see, but it's just about 3 minutes long, so feel free to watch it if you want to!
