Anniston had her first ballet tonight. It wasn't really a recital. The ballet company she takes from puts on an actual "ballet" (versus each age group doing different random dances). Anniston was ECSTATIC ! She was cast as a butterfly, and the group of girls she danced with did a precious job !
We kind of made a big deal out of this, since it was her first ballet ! Ms. Kelly did her hair this morning at the salon that Mommy goes to----she thought she was HOT STUFF !
Posing with Nanny afterwards
Now it's Mommy's turn !
Snapped a quick picture before I left her backstage to get ready !
I was able to run back and get a pic of her during intermission. She did GREAT during her performance. After she changed, she was able to come out and watch the second half of the show.
Her fan club brought her flowers for doing such an amazing job!
MaMa and PaPa came up and brought her some beautiful roses wrapped up so pretty. They also brought a present up from MeMaMa, which was a ballet charm bracelet. It is so precious !
Nanny and PawPaw R also brought her some gorgeous flowers ! PawPaw went with Treyson to the Farmer's Market this morning and hand selected this bouquet for Anniston :)
.....and here are the flowers that Treyson picked out for Anniston at Farmer's Market
Group picture! We are overwhelmed with how much support our parents give to our children. We do realize how truly blessed we are, and strive to not take these moments for granted.
Ms. Liz was so sweet to come watch Anniston today. She has been anxiously awaiting this ballet as much as we have. We really do have the absolute best group of friends :)
Anniston's ballet today was a faith based ballet. It was the Cinderella story, but it was also about how God can work through us to make us better people who live out our lives to be Godly. Cinderella read the bible and understood that God encourages us to forgive, as she forgave her wicked step-sisters and step-mother today. I was overwhelmed with emotion today. The music that was used, with all of the girls dancing their hearts out in God's name....simply speechless. I saw Anniston's teacher at intermission of the second recital, and barely was able to finish thanking her because I was so overcome with emotion.
Anniston,
Sweet princess, you were so amazing today. We are incredibly proud of you. You looked way too old in your make-up ;) We are so happy that you love ballet. Ms. Rachel is such a Godly woman, and Mommy and Dadoo are so thankful that we found her. She is an incredible ballet instructor, but she is also such an outspoken Christian. One of our jobs as your Mommy and Dadoo is to surround you with God-loving persons who care about you. We knew that we were doing that through your school, church, and friends we associate with.....but who knew we would find that in your ballet class? Just another example that God is in control! We were led to Ms. Rachel for a reason, and we are so happy that you love to dance with her, for God!
We love you so much,
Mommy and Dadoo
