Recital 2016: Rebekah

 Saturday evening began Round 2 of our recital fun! Bekah was in Show B of "At the Movies" so she danced on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.

 Bekah had her run-through of her dance on the "big stage" on Tuesday afternoon as well.
 Bethany loved watching the big sisters. For awhile she kept trying to go sit on the steps to be closer to the stage. I think she is looking forward to being a dancer too!

 We did walk up to the ice cream shop on Tuesday for a treat after rehearsals.

 Bekah had dress rehearsal on Thursday and then she had to wait until Saturday evening to dance. She kept asking me during both of Rachel's dances when she could dance. We did get some fun family time in between their shows.
 
 Saturday was so busy with both the girls having shows that most of us just stayed at the auditorium between shows. We actually had to be there pretty early as both of the shows that Bekah was in were sold out! The big girls recruited Pop and Papa to take them for a little ride while we waited between shows.

 Finally, Saturday evening arrived and it was show time for Bekah! Here she is backstage with her friend Jaycee.

 Here is Bekah with Miss Brooke, who was her helper in her class for her very first year of dance.

 

 Here is Bekah with Ms. Jessica before one of the shows also.

Here is our little "Aristocat." Yes, her class were the "Aristocats" and their dance and costumes were so cute. They even had the cat's ears too.

 Bekah did such a good job and had so much fun with her dance this year!

 
 Brent had an art show all day Saturday and Sunday so he had to hurry back to be able to see Bekah dance on Saturday evening. Thankfully, he was able to make it to the show with about 20 minutes to spare which was good because Bekah had asked me several times on Saturday if Daddy would see her dance. He was sitting in the front row with me and she smiled when she saw him.

 Nana and Papa and Mimi and Pop were all able to come to see Bekah for the Saturday evening show as well.

 

 

On Sunday afternoon, Nana and I watched Bekah dance. Mimi and Pop had to leave to head back to NC. Papa and Rachel kept Bethany at home since her afternoon nap was during show time. We did get to have lunch with Papa before it was time to be at the theater.

Here was the smallest cat trying on her big sister's cat ears

Sunday's show was just as cute as Saturday's show. Bekah was all smiles as she danced around on the stage.

 Then it was time for the finale and final bows and just like that, another year of dance was finished!!

Bekah and Rachel both had Ms. Audrey as their dance teacher this year. She did a great job teaching them lots of new skills this year and they loved going to dance each week!

I loved spending my Mother's Day watching this cute cat dance!

Bekah, you did a great job at the recital! It is hard to believe you just finished your 3rd year of dance already! You did a great job dancing for Jesus. We are proud of you and we love you!
