Samantha’s recital was at last a week ago Friday and she was just as excited as could be! Susan and GJ went on up to save seats while I got her all ready in her costume, a bit of hairspray, and a little blush and lipgloss too! I think she was most excited about the hairspray and blush!  🙂

Taking a bow!

Showing off her makeup to GJ…

We took a few pictures on the stage before the show and she was the eating up all the attention!

She did not like it when her brothers were trying to steal her spotlight! ha!

It was so fun to be dressed up with our dance buddies!

The performance was adorable. The other class was the rain and Samantha’s class was the sun. After they danced separately they then did a little bit together as a rainbow! too cute!

Samantha’s wasn’t nervous on the stage at all and did great following directions and lining up where she was supposed to be! She was adorable!!

I’m not sure who loved it all more – me or her!

We were all so proud of our sunshine!!

Can’t wait for the big stage next year!

Oh, happy day! Samantha had her very first dance recital last week and it was just perfect! I took dance as a little girl and always loved the recitals, the costumes, the makeup and all of it. I have dreamed of doing it with my own little girl someday and the day did not disappoint!!

The class got their costumes several weeks ago and looked so cute trying them all on…

They were supposed to be the sun and they were very bright and happy!

They then also took their official pictures several weeks ago. My smiley sunshine was ready to go that day!!

Let’s just say she NAILED her photo!!

Aaaah!! It does not get any cuter than that. Nope, it does not.

Here’s her whole class with Smiley Samantha Sunshine in the back!

Recital pics to come…yay!
