Dance Recital

This year we have had the girls in ballet, per their request. We were introduced to the AVO School of Ballet by some friends, and have been really pleased with it. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind, and are patient with the young girls that they teach. This year, the recital theme was "Tales of Beatrix Potter". It was simply delightful. There were several different dances including mischievous kittens, playful bunnies, silly squirrels, and country and city mice. Morgan and Rachael's dance was the dance about the country mice and the city mice. It was absolutely adorable. Morgan was a city mouse along with two other girls. Rachael was a country mouse along with two other girls. (One of those girls was Jeana Simpson, a close family friend.) The dance showed the a group of city mice and a group of country mice picnicking in the same location. They met, decided to eat together, overcame their differences, and parted as friends. So fun.

You can't see it in this picture, but Kate is actually wearing a pink tutu that matches Morgan and Rachael. We have our friends at Target to thank for the little swim suit that looks like a ballerina costume. The mouse ears came from our dress-up box. Stay tuned for a picture that shows the whole costume...
