Millie’s First Dance Recital (last Sunday)

Posted on December 18th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in A Life in the Day

My little ballerina is all grown up. Last Sunday we (and by we, I mean an army of about 15) went to see Millie’s first ever dance recital. Her 3 year old class performed a little number to “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, and they brought down the house. OK…maybe not, but in MY MIND, they DID. Those little sisters rocked it out.

I would like to tell you that some of these first few backstage shots were taken just before the performance, but in actuality, they were taken on dress rehearsal day. The stress of walking the fine line between applying stage makeup and making Millie look like a baby prostitute PLUS fastening antlers in a two minute period was enough to push me in the general direction of a liquor store…so, no real photojournalistic images from the backstage on recital day. I mean, if I had just the camera, who was gonna put on the blush?
Bobby? I think not.

Best buddies!

OK…this WAS taken on recital day once the girls lined up to go on stage.
Can you tell Millie had just seen the fear in my eyes? She looks a little fried.

“OK, girls. We’re on stage. NOW WHAT???”

“We’re s’posed to do WHAT?!”

I love this shot.
This was just after they exited backstage and met the mommies and daddies in the hallway. Sheer joy!

Mills and Sam loved getting their flowers.

they grow up so fast! that made me a little teary. thanks for sharing. happy holidays!

[…] seems unfathomable that it has only been five months since Millie’s first recital (remember the Rudolph antlers?). She looks so much more grown up and it is kind of blowing my mind. Not only is she losing her baby […]
