Dance Weekend

 Dance recital weekend is always fun and full of family time! 

Dress rehearsal night means I get to see her dances for the first time. I get very excited to see them after hearing all about each dance for the months leading up to recital. 

Jaxx was her favorite dance. This year it was to "Thunderstruck" and ended the recital program. 

Tap was to a country song call "Arkansas". They bought cowboy boots and put taps on them. As soon as Anna got home she took the taps off and now she has cowboy boots!

9 years of watching Anna dance. I now know how fast it goes. I'll savor each of these high school years. 

The boys stayed home with Ronan so that he didn't have to sit still during recital. 

It was a perfect evening to spend outside. Ronan wanted to play cornhole. Later we all sat in the living room and watching him play. That made me nostalgic. We spent so many evening watching, especially Aliza of our children, play like that.
