Hannah had her first dance recital last weekend. It was a big one for her since it was her very first time performing on stage like this. She loved performing and wants to keep going for next year too. We went through Hosanna Dance Studio. It was well worth our money at the end, as how much we paid for her to attend this dance studio. I was well please with her teacher and with the kids who were in it. I even ran into many home school mommies who help me on home schooling questions I had.
Well, on Thursday last week, she had dress rehearsals and we had to plaster her hair up in a bun with gel and hair spray. She had a very crunchy head when it dried to perfection. We then headed off to dress rehearsal were I had to drop her of back stage and leave her with an adult watching her whole group. I then went to the main seating hall and waited with Ashley to watch Hannah perform. I was able to record her on dress rehearsal day since they asked on her full day performance not to record and personal videos. Hosanna had a professional video production come in and record the weekend performance. So, here's her three video's from Thursday performance.

Family Dinner at Park
After we took many family photos of Hannah and family we went home to cook Hannah's special meal she wanted. I asked her a week ahead of time what favorite meal do you want me to make for you and you know what she said, hotdog's. I laughed and told we can do that and we will make homemade French fries to go with it too. After we cooked our dinner we packed it all up and went on a family picnic to Hendricks’s Park and took some more family picture's us enjoying our day together. After the park we took the girls to a special place for dessert. We took them to TCBY and bought the little cups of ice cream. They have NEVER been there before and this is a ONLY special occasion treat, since we try hard to avoid sugar and white flour with our kids. We ended our day well loved and fulfilled with all that happened that day.
On Monday we had to get kids in their costumes again for group pictures. Each parent took their own pictures. Hosanna just had a back ground set up for us to use.
I think most of them turned out great. We just kept on snapping making sure we got plenty good shots of different poses. Hannah still has some community performances to do before she is all finished for this school year.
