The PondFam5 loves our little elephant sooooo much!

Rose, Harper and Lucy!

 

  

It’s nap time (and the recital hasn’t even started yet)!

 

Sweet Emily came to cheer Rose on (she’s seen Rose do the dances in our living room, so she had to see the real thing)!  Rara and Poppa came to town just for the day but wouldn’t have missed it, and Rose knew it!

Khloe, Lucy, Claire and Rose as rainbow ballerinas.

 

Their ballet dance was to “Over the Rainbow” by Israel Ka?ano?i Kamakawiwo?ole.  

 

Rose belting out “her” song, “Ring Around the Rosie” back stage!

 

Anna Kate wanted a picture with her sissy so badly, but Rose was all over the place! 

 

Finally got her!  During the first part of her ballet number on stage, she was doing her tap routine (sweet girl), but she became graceful very quickly and started hamming up her long reaching motions.  I’ll never forget our sweet baby Rose during her first ballet dance! 

 

Rose was busy being a pretty ballerina before her “Rainbow” dance, but since it was smack dab in the middle of her nap, she was totally zoning out (and dress rehearsal was that morning, so it was a crazy day for our little one).  But once she saw Katie after her last dance had finished, that all changed.  You can see how precious that moment was!

 

Sweethearts!

 

Mike gave Rose a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and Kay Kay and Grandpapa came too!

We were all so proud of our sweet baby Rose!

 

“Smell my roses, Poppa!”  Thank you, Bekah Boo, for coming!

 

What a very special day watching Rose blossom!
