Elli's 5th Ballet Rehearsal and Recital, June 13 and 14th

 Getting ready.  The routine was to the song, God Bless America.

 Brent made it just in time.  He then left right afterwards on his way to PA for Devin's wedding.  He missed the recital but was able to see her perform the night before.

 A quick family shot before Brent had to leave.

 We stayed for the whole first act of Show 1 for the first time.  Elli walked out on stage when her routine was called.

 Here she is stating her name for receiving her 5 year award.

 Getting ready before the recital.

 My pretty girl

 Olivia, Madilynn, Sarah, Lily, Lydia, and Elli.  6 girls, 6 friends.

 They have been in the same class for 5 years and I love that special bond for them.

 Performing.

Lydia's leaps!

 Elli got to do a heel stretch right at the beginning of the performance.  She was very excited to be able to do it.

Sweet girls.  She has gotten better at ballet and seems to still enjoy it.
