Olivia's Dance Recital

Last week was Olivia's second dance recital. These girls were much goofier than the last time so it was basically a chaotic mess but hilarious. There was a part during the ballet number where all the girls (5 of them) had to get in a circle, hold hands and dance round and round. Well, during the dress rehersal, the girls almost got into the circle - Olivia knew what she was doing so she was standing there with both hands out looking annoyed because the other girls weren't doing what they were supposed to, another two girls were literally fist fighting over who got to hold Olivia's hand and then another little girl was holding hands with the two girls so hard and yanking on their arms so they were crying....the poor dance teacher. After the third or fourth attempt to get these girls to dance in this circle, she fell on the stage and said "I give up"....LMAO - it was funny.

The night of the show was cute - the girls looked adorable and that's all that counts - they are only 4!! Here are some pictures from that night.

Here is one of Olivia dancing on stage - she was pretty good at remembering the moves:



This one is of her and another little girl dancing:



Here is the circle I was talking about - when they finally did get into the circle it was a lot of laughing and screeching - very funny!

This one I thought was really cute - I volunteered to sit with the girls in front so they could watch after their second dance number was over - talk about wild animals - trying to get 5 little girls to sit still in front of the stage was like trying to herd cats!! They each went a different way. Finally, they all just lined up in front of the stage (minus the one I lost! LOL) and I got this adorable shot:

And here she is with her bouquet of flowers we got her - purple of course!
