Kate and Kyri at the Morton Arboretum
Patrick, Kate, and Tessa B.
(Tessa's first train ride!)
Splashing in the fountain at Millennium Park
Playing with Patrick
Tessa felt like such a big girl when she got to get out of the stroller and walk with Kate.
My attempt at a group shot at the bean...
Tessa B. and Grandma Nancy
And watch out... A star is born!!!
Our little honey bee
Showing off her wings
Waiting backstage with Miss Emma
K.J. was so excited that Aubry came to watch!
This was a pretty special day for me. It was really cool to be back at the same place I performed at year after year for about 10 years. Some of the girls that I used to dance with also have their daughters in classes at our old studio, so we got a little emotional when we were all standing backstage together!
The Grandmas
The song was from the Winnie the Pooh movie. So, Pooh and Piglet were out there with them.
When Kyri went back out for the finale, she became awe struck by the crowd and left the line she was supposed to be in. She walked right to the front middle of the stage and started bowing, curtsying, and waving. It was priceless! Miss Emma had to go fetch her and bring her back to the line.
The star with her flowers
Aunt Sherry gave her a special pin that used to be Grandma Joan's ballerina pin.
It was a sweet moment.
Here is a weak video from dress rehearsal. You can't really see the girls' faces, but Kyri is the third honey bee from the left. (We weren't allowed to video during the actual recital.)
Taking time to smell the roses...
