McCanless’ Dance Recital 2008

McCanless took a tap and ballet class this year at Ms. Brenda’s, so she was in TWO dances at the recital! She loved her costume, but wasn’t crazy about the “bird feathers” that she had to wear in her hair. The day of the recital, she was so excited and couldn’t wait to perform. She did great on stage. (As compared to last year when she loudly sang the lyrics to “Rockin’ Robin, but didn’t move her feet a bit.) She loves to dance and loved being on stage, not a huge surprise to me!

This is the ballet costume..a quick removal of the tutu, add tap shoes and Ta-Da, a tap costume!

Even Mary Clare made it all the way through the entire recital! She loved the music and even watched many of the performances.

Thanks for the beautiful flowers Aunt Liz and Nonnie!

…and how do we celebrate anything in our family? Dinner at the Mexican Restaurant!

McCanless loved watching herself on my video camera! She was so proud!!

McCanless, you look so gorgeous! I wish I could have been there. You know if I was still living in HartsVegas, I would be up there on stage, as usual, with Miss Brenda. I just wanna dance!!!

McCanless, you are so beautiful!!! I think the feathers in your hair looked very stylish! You are always posing like a model for your pictures. Mommy should sign you up for modeling classes…Someday you might be on the cover of a magazine!
