One Enchanted Evening...

As we wrap up our dance season the girls get to show us their stuff with a dance recital!!! We have had 3 LONG evenings packed full of dance. Dress rehearsal from 4-9 on Thursday, Madison's Dance Recital on Friday and Adina's dance recital on Saturday. And boy, are we glad to be done!
Madison LOVES performing, she loves the hair, the sparkles, the make-up and getting up on the stage to strut her stuff.
These were taken before her recital....
She had no issues "hamming" it up for the camera.
This one just cracks me up! Her smile totally reminds me of Shirley Temple! Bubba, you should be proud, you always said you wanted her to dance and sing like Shirley!!!
She loved her presentation boquet and rose from Grammie (who couldn't make it)!
Family Picture! Adina was hiding intentionally.
We were so glad that Bubba and Papa could come (Donovan's mom and dad). Marsha had a horrible accident at work with a lift and crushed her legs. She is so fortunate that she didn't get hurt worse! You cannot tell by the smile on her face that she is in pain!!! Thanks for coming guys.
Grandma Wahl came all the way from Minnesota for the big event. Notice her pretty tan! I told her she can take us to Florida with her any time!

Saturday was Adina's big night! She on the other hand is not as crazy about the hair, make-up, and sparkles! (or so she likes to pretend) I think she secretly likes the way she looks but doesn't want to admit it.
She was so funny when I would put the lipstick on her she would talk with her lips poking out because she didn't like the way the lipstick felt...or the eyeshadow or the bobby pins or the way the glitter spray smelled, etc, etc...
"I ALREADY SMILED ONCE, STOP TAKING MY PICTURE!"
This is Adina's good friend Gen(evieve). Who would have guessed one of her best friends would have the same name as her baby sister! Adina met Gen the week before our Genevieve was born! This is how Adina should have looked after the show, but she didn't want me taking any pictures of her in it, so she changed before I could get to her! That's my girl!!
Adina said she wanted chocolate and flowers, so Madison got very creative and stuck Rolos in these flowers for Adina
Will we ever get the family picture with every one looking the same place???
Madison was very proud of Adina's performance!
Bubba and Papa again
Grandma Wahl again!
Can you tell our temperature dropped by 20 degrees in 2 days?

These are so great!!! I love the dance pics - and how different your girls are from each other. God certainly made each one unique, right?!! Looks like fun... I can't wait for that stuff for Mary! You look awesome, BTW!

I was gonna tell you too... if you have a pic you like of your family, and took a few... I can easily "swap" heads for you. I have an underground hobby of photoshopping. Just email them to me - I'd be happy to give you a family picture where you all are looking in the same direction. : )
