Mary Grace's First Dance Recital

Last Friday was Mary Grace's first dance recital. I thought it was pretty ridiculous because the recital was at Georgia Tech, yes, all the way in town. Not only that, there was a dress rehearsal, at that location, and, I had to hire a sitter to watch Jeffery and Wylie while I took Mary Grace all the way in town to Georgia Tech to practice. I also had a really hard time dealing with the fact that I had to pay for; the monthly lesson, the costume, the tickets, the $40.00 DVD of the show, the flowers, AND the sitter to watch Jeffery and Wylie during the show. Did I mention that she is only 3?
Having said that...it was ALL totally worth it!
It was such and incredibly special night! She did very well, and we were all very proud of our little girl.

Here are some pictures of MG on stage at her dress rehearsal. The theme was Alice in Wonderland, and Mary Grace's class were the white rabbits.





The night of the show. Here we are about to leave at 5:00 in order to get down there for the show that starts at 7:00.

Changing into our tap shoes before the show.

Flowers, hugs and photos after the show.



Ahh... the final reward...chocolate!


It was definitely a night I will always remember!
