First Dance Recital

This past Tues. was Caysja's very FIRST dance recital ever.  It was so darling!  She did great and I was so proud of her! ( I have a video of it, but it's not letting me put it on here at the moment so I'll have to get Caleb to help me with that when he comes home in a week...)

Anyway, the theme was "Winter Wonderland".  Caysja's class did three dances with costume changes each time but this is the only costume I got a picture of, unfortunately.  (The costumes are rented, so I didn't get to take her picture in them when we got home either.)  Caysja's teacher's mother made each costume and she did a fantastic job.  I was really impressed with Caysja's teacher, Miss Kortney.  To get three and four year olds to learn ONE dance is amazing let alone THREE dances!  And they really knew them quite well!  I think Caysja may actually have a little bit of natural talent.  She really followed her teacher well and was right on the beat most of the time--plus, she told me she had so much fun!

The girls also had the opportunity to perform (as a sort-of dress performance) for a retirement center in Idaho Falls, the Bon Adventure.  

Hugs!  

Caysja loves her cousin, Mariah, and she's so lucky to get to take dance with her this year.

Silly girls - Who knows what they were doing here!?  Pretending to be Santa Claus?

We had to take this picture because they have matching coats--and it wasn't planned that way either!
