Presley recently completed her first year of dance and with that came her first dance recital. About a month before the big day, she came home from dance with her very first costume. With it, came a list of instructions: Tan Tights, Hair half up and curled, pink eye shadow, pink lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, etc....
The first time she got all dressed up was for her dance pictures. I took her down the street to my neighbor who has had girls in dance for a long time. She helped with Presley's hair and makeup. Thank you Jessica!!
Pretty girl all ready for pictures!!
We took some close up pictures of her hair and makeup for the next time!
The next time she got all dolled up was for the dress rehearsal. Mommy did her hair and makeup this time around! We were told to be at the performance hall at a specific time and the girls went through the dance twice. We were able to stand up by the stage and take pictures and video. Presley loved being up on stage. She said it made her feel tall.
The morning of the big day, Daddie took her to get donuts!
The recital lasted a little over 2 hours. Presley did so great!! Everyone greeted Presley with flowers and hugs after her big performance.
Mommy and Daddie got Presley a special necklace for the special occasion.
I think she made out pretty good with all the flowers! We put them all in vases and put them in her bedroom.
We told Presley she could pick to go anywhere she wanted for dinner to celebrate and she picked Chick Fil A. Since they don't have wine at Chick Fil A, we took a big tray of nuggets and some other snacks to Marmee and Guy's hotel room and ate dinner there. Presley got to spend the night in the hotel with them and she thought that was pretty cool!
Presley took a break from dance and gymnastics for the summer. I took this picture of her last gymnastics class. It looks like she wants to go back and do both in the Fall!
