Dance Recital!

Today was Avery's dress rehearsal for her dance recital, which is on Saturday. I think she has found her calling in life. She wanted to go right back on stage, and told me she can't wait until Saturday.

Her study is really particular about how the girls look for performances, so I spent two hours doing her hair:

and her makeup:

Jon Benet, anyone?

Avery and her friend Adrienne, just before they went onstage.

I'm ready to go on, Mom!

Here we go!

It's hard to wait for your turn.

Now, the best part. Here is the dance. Sorry it's such poor quality. I also took one with my video camera, so I'll see if I can figure out how to download that, because it looks much better. Avery starts out in the back row, second from the left. Just look for the super bouncy one that is more concerned with how her hair looks than actually getting the steps right.
