Ballet Recital

It makes me cry. Every time. It truly is one of the blessings of having children. Girls. It is always amazing to me to see my girls up on stage dancing for Jesus. It is one of the reasons we stay with the ballet company we are with. Not only do they teach ballet and tap but they have an emphasis on God and Jesus which has just made it that much more special. I am always so proud of my girls. Seeing them follow their teachers directions and working so hard. They are not afraid to get up on stage and dance. They look forward to it and I love it!! It has also been so neat to watch their progress and development over time. They both have been dancing since they were 3 and their abilities have grown. They dance differently though. Each girl has her own style. Olivia is very determined and very concentrated in her steps and movements. Making sure each step is the right one. Katie is more fluid - sometimes it seems less serious but it really works for her. It is one of the highlights of the holiday season - their little informal Christmas recital. Just one of life's little blessings during a very hectic season . . .
