Dance Recital.

What a difference>   Liv's recital this year was so much different than last year.  Last year, she stood there on the stage and cried while rolling her arms over and over until the song was over.  This year, she was the first to come out on the stage.  She walked across the whole stage on her tippy toes and then continued to step by step following the choreographed dance.  She would glance to the right at Mrs. G who was hiding behind the curtain and reminding the girls of the dance moves.  

She seemed so confident.  Followed the dance to a T. 

At the end of the show, Liv was given an Award of Excellence.  Only about 6 kids in the entire school got one.

After the show, the whole crew headed to Rino's for a pizza party (with a few beers for the adults) to celebrate.  

Liv felt super special today being surrounded by her entire family.

We are so proud of her!  I think she is ready for preschool in the fall!

Liv is the furthest to the left.

(this video is so difficult to see her.  We had to bring the flip instead of our bigger video camera because we had to sneak it in- cameras weren't allowed in.)  I love this video because you can hear Ryan and my reaction to her.  

Stay tuned for the footage of the video we bought from the dance studio.
