She dazzled!

Avery had her first dance recital last month. She performed and delivered a dance that dazzled the audience. She was so excited she hardly noticed her nerves. She practiced and took her routine very serious. She liked the music, her teacher, and friends....and was simply enamored with her "sparkling and dazzling" costume!! Avie described her costume this way, adding it was shiny and glamorous ..but not in a "diva" way. Avery talked so passionately about this recital, we wondered how she would react to her nerves the day of the show. Happy to report she was amazing. She went on stage and performed without a hitch. Nerves...what nerves? Gigi flew in and could hardly wait to see the recital. We enjoyed the show, every minute. It was a delightful night! This truly was a celebration for Avery; a rewarding night and one that she will obviously cherish. We each (mom, dad, Gigi, Ellie & Zach) greeted Avery with flowers after the show. Congratulations were in order. I think the flowers may of been Avery's favorite part of the recital. She still talks about those flowers today. I still talk about my dazzling dancer and how proud I was of her.
