Dance Recital

The girls recently had their end of the year dance recital and it was so fun to watch! Both girls did good and remembered their dances.  Although, Oaklie didn't do her dance during the recital...hahaha. It was quite the sight to see.  She did it that morning at the rehersal, which is why i said BOTH girls knew thier dance.  Because, she really did.  I think it was really exciting for her that all these people were there to see her dance, so she just looked at them and rocked her baby. (they danced with dolls for their dance) At one point she even said, "Hi mom.." or something like that.  In Oaklie's defense, her class of little 3 and 4 year olds went 30th out of like 35 numbers.  They had to wait a really long time.  Which, if you ask me, is way too long for those little girls to wait.  So, by the time she got up on stage, she was tired.  It was still entertaining to watch! I bought a video of the night...it will be great blackmail some day.  Berklie's dance was really cute and she did a great job!  She was in a tumbling class this year as well, but because of her broken elbow, she wasn't able to participate in that.  She has gotten pretty good too, so it was sad that she couldn't show off her skills.  Berk's also earned the perfect attendance award for the year, which only a handful of girls got.  :) She was super excited about the medal that she got for that.
Anyway, I thought these pictures were adorable of the girls.  Next year Oaklie is going to take a tumbling class, no dance classes.  She insists that she just wants to do summersaults.  Which I am totally fine with!  Berklie will do a hip/hop jazz class as well as tumbling again.  It's fun to watch both girls improve and enjoy what they are doing.  I asked Berklie if maybe next year she would want to try out for competitive dance...she said...mmm, maybe.  We shall see if we are up for that.
