Hula Girls

The recital was perfect.  I left Morgan at home with a student of mine who has watched the kids before...and it was worth every penny.  He is definitely at a stage where he doesn't sit still.  I really wanted tonight to be about Tessa, and it was.  It was all about her.  Right before bed, she said the best part about the night was dancing on the big stage.  And she wants to do dance again next year, which is huge for Tessa.  Here are some of my favorites from the night.  I took a video of one of the dances as well - now all I need to do is figure out how to get if off the camera.

My only picture of the two of us from the night.  Doesn't she look thrilled?

On stage!

Tessa spent an equal amount of time dancing and playing with her costume. :)

See what I mean?

A little dancin'

And a little bit more...

Hula, hula, hula!

And flowers?  She loved the flowers from her two Grandmas and Mommy.  They are in a vase in her room, and man, it smells good in there.
