Kiersten's Dance Recital 2016

Oh my Bug...this girl really knows how to light up a stage. For real though, always so enthusiastic and smiling so big. This years recital was much different for her. Hard to believe this was her 4th. And how lucky was she to have our neighbor/babysitter Ashlyn Clark as her student teacher this year?!?! She just loved dancing with Ashlyn.

We spent 4 hours at Kirkland on Thursday night for her dress rehearsal. Well...we did leave for a little bit,  just to grab dinner at University Dogs and desert at Cherry Berry. But she hung in there. She had fun playing in the "green room" with her friends and was so excited to get out on that stage.

Today she melted my heart with her smile. Her first dance was her tap routine, Top of the World and she nailed it. The Kid didn't miss a beat. And her second performance was her ballet routine to Circle of Friends. It was just so sweet. Of course she smiled so big when Gigi handed her the bouquet of flowers. Afterwards we went home and picked up Leah, Hattie and Ellen and headed to Krave for dessert! Can't beat that. And she certainly earned it!
