Abby started dance around March after she began to show some interest in it... likely due to her 3 best friends in school all dancing and talking about it. I didn't know where her friends danced but it ended up being the same place we chose, Scripps Dance Centre. They do 2 shows a year- Christmas and summer. Son after she started dane they started preparing for the show.
We had a dress rehearsal on Friday afternoon and then 2 shows the following day...more for the big girls but all the excitement was pretty fun!
Abby getting ready for the real show. There were about 200 doting parents and relatives in the audience cheering and screaming for their little girls. There were about 20 dances numbers but we only stayed for the first 5.
ABby had quite a crowd: Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Grandma Lori and Grandpa Don, Uncles Mike and Damon and Mommy, Daddy and Zack cheering her on. She was really happy to get flowers and showered with love.
After we all said our congrats and were walking out, Abby walked up to me and told me that Zack old her she looked beautiful! Keep it up Z- it never gets old! He was so proud of her and did great in the theater watching the dances.
Such a fun day to see her dance. She had a blast which was even better!

The second show was at 7 and so everyone else stayed home and I took Abby. We didn't buy tickers for the second dhow so we watched from back stage. it was really fun to see it behind the scenes. The nst was Abby running off the stage and giving me a huge hug!
Here is the link to the whole performance... it is too cute!
