Dance Recital 2016

 This year we made the change and drove to Rexburg 2 times a week for Leighton and Carmen's dance classes. It was totally worth the drive and they both improved so much. I really couldnt believe how great the recital was, I was pretty proud of them both.  I was also super emotional! (Weird!) I just couldn't get over how mature Carmen is getting and how beautiful of a dancer she is! And Leighton made us all laugh, she was not at all shy!! (Which is totally out of her character!) 

We love Miss Amy and Dance It and can't wait for next year! 

This was Leighton as we were waiting in line to get into the auditorium! Showing off her splits!! Nailed it!

 Randall & Mack brought the girls flowers and their grandparents, Aunt Melinda, and Emmy all came to watch. They loved all the attention.

 This one LOVES everything about getting all dolled up, she stares at herself in the mirror for hours! She is a born performer and Im surprised at how well she remembers the dances!

Carmen went onstage not feeling very well, she didn't smile the entire performance! :( But she still did a great job. Once it was over she left crying and crashed, she fell asleep for almost 14 hours. We ended up keeping her home from church and school the next few days because she was so sick. Poor thing. 

 This was at one of their performances, Carmen is a natural born dancer. Its all she does- all.day.long! She also received a "flexibility award" at the recital. I felt bad that she wasn't feeling well, she might have been a little more excited! 

 Growing up I always was in dance and traveled around for competitions, it makes me so happy that I have girls that LOVE to dance. I think Im more excited about their performances than they are!
