Lauren's 1st Dance Recital!

I think it's very clear she was ready to go to McDonalds for her ice cream!

We rewarded her with ice cream with mom and dad afterwards

Lauren had her first dance recital last Saturday! The recital was a lot of fun! We were able to enjoy it even more since Nolan got to go to the CDC (child development center or daycare) during it! I couldn't see it being very enjoyable had Nolan been there! He is way to squirmy and energetic! Lauren was so excited to dance for everyone. I thought she would be really nervous, but she danced her little heart out. She did better than I had ever seen her do during practice! She usually would stick her tongue out (Im guessing that's what she does when she is concentrating or is nervous ....she gets it from her daddy!) and do a few dance moves here and there, but never as good as she did for us at the recital. Thanks to her friend Mary's mom and dad, she got a rose after her dance. It was so thoughtful of them to give out a rose to all the parents in the class who didn't buy flowers for their dancer. Thanks Amber! Now we know it's a must to bring flowers for recitals! After she got off stage, Lauren was so excited to come back and sit with us in the audience. She was so proud of herself! All the dancers in the other age groups did a really nice job as well. They have a really good instructor. Lauren will be enrolling again in January. There will be 2 recitals for the spring session. How fun!


What a doll!
