Ballet Recital

The actual performance night was even better.  Ava and her classmates did an awesome job.  Everyone loved her and she loved every minute.  What a blessing to have so many special spectators.  Thanks so much for coming Uncle Ryan, Nana, Mimi and Pop!  And of course Daddy, Mommy and Bryce!  As shy as Ava can be, she has no problem on the big stage and seems to really enjoy herself.

Waiting for their turn on stage, they did a little princess coloring.  Couldn't resist a photo of the tutu bottoms.  So cute!  :)

Bryce looks for Ava in every performance.  He was really sweet telling her she did a good job.

And I can't forget to mention her other special guests.  Her preschool teachers... Ms. Kelley and Ms. Kehoe came to watch her and two other friends from her class.  So incredible thoughtful.  We will miss them so much next year.

Ava received lots of fun flowers, but she especially loved the balloon from Bryce.  He's really into badges at the moment and gives out imaginary ones for a job well done.  He said this was her badge for good dancing.  The balloon said "It's My Special Day."  They love each other so much.  It melts my heart.

Last but not least, we celebrated with yummy princess cupcakes at home after the show.  She definitely deserved her treat.
