For the 2013/2014 school year, Elli took a dance class every Thursday evening with her friend, Siena. Elli loved it, but doing a class every Thursday evening for a full school year at her age was a little too much. Still, she learned a lot and had fun doing it.
First dance class...

Kensley came to visit towards beginning of the school year and was able to take a class with Elli. I look back at this picture and think….Did we suggest that they hug? Kensley was sick and had a fever this night.
We gave her a choice of whether she wanted to be in the dance recital at the end of the year or not and she decided she wanted to. We had to turn in all the money and forms in October (yeah….the recital wasn't even until June). I didn't know what to expect going into the recital and laughed when they suggested we put make-up on the girls. But we ended up doing make-up and she was so excited about it! Afterwards, Scott told me he read in one of his books to never put make-up on your daughter before they hit their teenage years (oops….yep, he reads a few pages out of his father/daughter book most mornings….to say he's a bit more nervous about raising a daughter vs. a son is an understatement, but I love how serious he takes his role as Dad).
You were only supposed to take pictures and video during the rehearsal, but I ended up sneaking in a video of the actually performance….one day I'll post it (ha….lets be honest….I can barely keep up with posting pictures on here….)
Um….my favorite picture. See which one Elli is? I'm not sure what she was doing on stage….but it was a long evening of rehearsals.
Elli and Siena
Her biggest fans!! See her roses? Scott and I might have scored those dozen roses for $2.00 the night before at the grocery store….she loved them!!
Elli did an awesome job this year at dance and during her recital! We were so proud of her and it was so much fun to watch her up on stage!
