Grace's Ballet Recital

Last weekend Grace had her ballet recital. She began ballet in January. She took ballet for a semester back when she was 3 but hasn't done it since then. She seems to like it. She doesn't really talk about it much or go around the house in her ballet shoes but when I asked her if she wanted to do it again inhte fall or try another sport she said she wants to do ballet again. I wouldn't mind that. I think ballet is so graceful and beautiful. She was actually in class with a few little girls that we go to church with too. One of them was one of her good friends. They had fun together and looked adorable in their costumes.

The recital was quite a bit longer than we expected on Saturday. I had no idea this dance program was so large. They had a full recital on Friday night and then the one on Saturday. Saturday's recital was a little more than 2 and a half hours. Of course, Grace was third from the end on the program! I felt bad for her. She had to be in her classroom in full costume and makeup at 9:15am and didn't dance until about 12:15pm! They had the girls sitting in the room watching the recital on the TV.

They did a great job though. It was very sweet. Here are some pictures.
