Ballet and Festival of Trees

Allie was able to try out a Ballet class this last fall.  Let's just say that Allie is very glad that it's over.  After about 4 classes Allie asked when she got to be done with Ballet.  I told her we had to finish the session, but when it was over we could be done.  Ballet was NOT Allie's thing.  There was way to much structure and to much standing time at the bar for my little rambunctious child.

Practicing their "Nutcracker" dance for the big recital


Practice, Practice, Practice

For their performance the dance class got to perform down at Festival of Trees.  Considering last year Allie froze during her tap performance I wasn't sure what to expect.  Allie surprised me and did an awesome job.  I was so proud of this little girl.


She was following the girl in the front the whole time


Allie is the one on the right (the one with the long black skirt)  Her poor mom (with a post pregnancy brain) ordered her skirt, but I did it too late and it didn't come in time.  Her sweet teacher pulled one together with one of the older girls' skirts.  It was sliding off Allie's tiny waist the whole time.  Allie does some funky tongue chewing when she is nervous  (she takes after her dad), but she at least was dancing and looking cute
