The long awaited.........

Last night was finally, Brooke's much anticipated, dance recital! It was kinda crazy, but fun. All the moms pretty much missed out on the whole show because we had to stay and help the girls get dressed and then WAIT for our turn in a small, crowded room. It was nice however, that they had a big movie screen showing the performance that was going on in the big auditorium. They even had good speakers in the room, so the music was nice and loud. As a mom, you are glad to be there with your daughter before she takes the stage, but it's kind of ironic that the men are watching the entire show live.....and they could care less, except of course to watch THEIR baby girl:) oh well, it was an experience!! A friend and myself kept saying all night, "HOW do the parents that do the beauty pagents with their little girls do this time and time again" and HOW do the little girls endure all that! YIKES. Anyway, Brooke did great!!!! Her first dance, she was the only one that remembered the whole routine and did great:) The second routine, was her favorite. Banana Smoothie, we walked around the house singing "cut up a banana, put it in the blender and shake it all up" almost the whole week, it was so embeded in our brains! I was soooo proud of my little girl, she really shined up there and dance is her element, for sure!! Grandma and Grandpa D came to watch her and even brought her some cograts flowers....she LOVED them!
