Little Ballerina

Sunday night, Lucy Jane had her Spring Ballet Recital! This was her first year to take dance, and we have an awesome program through our church called The Crosschurch Dance Ministry! There are girls of all ages. They work so hard all year long and learn about worshipping Jesus through song and dance! I have loved seeing Lucy Jane grow throughout the year! 

Last week they had four practices to get ready for Sunday! It was a long week, but seeing the whole production together made the sleepy nights so worth it! 

Lucy Jane and Annalyse posing in their matching tutu's at one of the practices! These girls are a mess! 

They are all in their own little world by this time during practice Tuesday night! Haha! 

Picture night...I could hardly get her to look at me for a picture!

Somehow, they get all the girls on track each week! I think when Momma's aren't around things go much more smoothly!

This is Lucy Jane's class with their sweet teachers!

Sweet friends being goofy, and bored waiting on the "real" thing to start! 

Sweet cousins and friends! 

I had just gotten her dressed and talked her into one quick picture! She was so excited and ready to get out there!

She did such a great job! Isn't it funny how they act so goofy during practice and then always pull it together for the performance!

When Lucy Jane was going up on stage for the last song, she ran and hugged this sweet little blonde teacher dancing in the front! It was so cute...then on her way down she invites her over for a play date and to her birthday party!!! Hahaha Lucy Jane looks up to these big girls! 

Her Daddy surprised her with flowers afterwards! She was so excited to get her very own flowers! She said, did he know those were my favorite kind! :)

We told her she could pick wherever she wanted to eat to celebrate her big night! She very VERY excitedly chose Taco Bell and said could we please sit inside and eat, too? How do you say no to that? (A girl after my own heart) so, we had a little party in Taco Bell! 

She got the new "Barbie in the Pink shoes" movie and Barbie doll! So exciting!!! 

So proud of Lucy Jane and hoping the real meaning of what she was involved in sinks into her little heart! It is so much more than an extracurricular activity! We are wanting to fill her little mind with as much Jesus as we can! So thankful for miss Julie and her heart for these girls!
