The Dance Recital that Wasn't. And a bit of Easter.

Lexa's first dance recital began seemingly well with her hair and makeup done, fans in attendance, and costumes ready. Mommy and Lexa spent the first portion just waiting backstage as the bunnies were near the end of the first half. Finally it was Lexa's debut time and she was lined up and led off. Mommy sat down in the crowd ready to view the results of a year of dance (and $$) and with just 2 dances before Lexa's...the power went off. And stayed off. Ms. Allison made the call to cancel the recital after about an hour without power. And....as the dancers left...the power came back on! Ah the luck! It ended up being a fun experience and one Lexa will surely never forget. Check out her beautiful self!
She won the brother lottery. He was so nervous for her and then concerned when the power went out and she was backstage. What a dreamboat!

Bunnies lined up and ready to dance!

A prepared mom (not this author) brought beads so the girls could make necklaces while waiting backstage.

Cute little bunny!

Feeling special with her backstage pass on!

The rest are from dress rehearsal...when she actually made it to the stage!

Shimmy shake!!

Lexa's class watching a high school dancer at rehearsal. They though she was sooooo cool!

The finale!
In other news....Jace and Lexa before school.

She came downstairs in a shirt clearly found in a 'too small, for sale' pile. Mommy checked the size just to see....size 6 months.

Some sort of mask made at school. That she was very proud of.

And finally, Easter egg hunt with the cousins at the Plantation!
There are talks of a make up recital. If so, Mommy will surely bombard you with more pictures of Lexa in hair and makeup!
