But she did sit perfectly and watch the whole 45 minute recital. She actually LOVES watching the girls dance. Zoe did great for her first few dances, then it was time for her to do the sword dance with the whole group of girls and they brought the little ones down off the stage and got them to dance right up in front of the crowd of family and friends that were watching. She looked at me and her face went red and she started to cry. I went up to see what was wrong and she just buried herself in my lap so she didn't end up doing it. Later she told me she was scared she would kick the sword and that it would hit someone who was watching! Poor child was feeling traumatized!! She did awesome in her other dances and she won a special trophy for being the happiest dancer to come to practice and get right to dancing!! She really is like that - she never complains, and she always dances her little heart out!!
Here is the three of them in their kilts at the recital.
Avri and Mika getting ready to dance.... Piper in the background
We also had Avri's birthday party this past weekend. It was fun, lots of girls, lots of noise but lots of fun. We had a carnival theme, they played games at stations and they got tickets for each station they went to (everyone got the same amount of tickets because I am all about fairness!) Then they could trade their tickets in for prizes - see prize table below!
It was fun and the weather cooperated enough that we could have the bbq outside after they were done with the games!
After dinner we had cupcakes, I found Leah kindly sharing hers with the dog - no wonder Piper loves following Leah around everywhere!!
I left Josh in charge of the games - he did an awesome job, the kids loved playing them and I think he had some fun too....
Pin the tail on the "DAD" - ONKEY!! What a funny guy!!
Well that about sums up the past few weeks - we have a few more competitions coming up, so the girls are practicing tons! I'll keep you posted with the outcomes.
