Added in to the crazy month of May was the girls' dance recital! Yeehaw!
They worked (sort of) hard on getting ready for the recital. Their dance was a tap dance to Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky heart. Not gonna lie...I was disappointed when I found out, but it actually turned out really cute!
Dad & Tricia came down the night before the recital to hang out. I don't know why I found this so funny, but dad was with me at the same time my mom was visiting Brandon in Colorado!
We sent pics back and forth. I love forcing people to participate in my games. ;)
The girls love hanging with Grandma Tricia! She's awesome.
Dress rehearsal went well. And by "well", I mean they knew about 10% of their dance but no one cried, so that's sort of a win?
It's weird seeing them in makeup, but thankfully the costumes helped tone it down to silly rather than inappropriate.
wanna kiss that smushy face
Right before it was show time, Millie got REALLY nervous. I had to give her a pep talk about being the oldest in the class and bravery. No pressure or anything.
Post-show paparazzi! The girls did well in the recital! Millie had a good time; Syd sort of just milled around shuffling her feet. I don't think Syd is going to love the spotlight. But they looked good doing it, and it was a fun experience for them to be in the same class! I need to upload some video of the dance, but my computer is too full at the moment (yeesh).
It was pretty special having them here for the recital!
Dance pictures turned out super duper cute!!
so grown up
I want a life-size poster of this
The next day was the Kidz Bop concert! I was probably more excited than they were. I had big dreams about how special it would be. Syd's first concert at the Amp! We listen to the Kidz Bop station ALL THE TIME! I just knew it was going to be amazing.
Nope. It was so hot and we were directly in the sun. Everyone was barely hanging in there after all the activities from the week(s) before. Not just us either...the people we went to the concert with were in the same boat: overtired kiddos and moms. This was the face that the six of them made the whole time. Nobody got up and danced or sang along. I'm still not sure what happened. Oh well, live and learn.
In a surprising twist, Millie sobbed the whole time. Maybe it was because we waited in line 20 minutes for a pretzel and they sold out to the person in front of us? It was like the twilight zone.
These two are actually so funny together. Anniston and Syd share a real love for dresses, fancy shoes, and accessories. They actually bond over it.
The Kidz Bop fuddy duddies: Millie, Syd, Anniston, Hadley, Elle, Beckham. Maybe we'll try again in a few years. ;)
