This weekend has been much anticipated for weeks…
Mostly {for me} because I was nervous about pulling off all the details that I had to do,
and {for the girls} in excitement about performing on the “big stage”!
On Saturday morning it started {early!} with a rehearsal…
On Saturday evening it continued with the first of two concerts.
The girls both danced beautifully and left me feeling
immensely proud of them!!
Especially Abbie. She was by far the smallest ballerina of the night, yet so brave and she loved every minute of it.
Unfortunately we weren’t allowed to take any photos or videos of the event due to copyright photos, but here are some photos of them in their full make up and costumes…
Beautiful Miss Hannah…
Beautiful Miss Abbie…
Yes that child swinging under the bar while the rest stand tall is indeed my cheeky Abbie.
How perfectly that photo sums up her personality! I love it!!
And their certificates & trophy (Abbie’s trophy is already missing in action!)
This time Saturday, in full preparation & never having had the opportunity to see them dance before, I was left questioning whether all this time & money was worth it.
But by Saturday night while watching them & then again on Sunday night at the second performance I was completely & utterly convinced.
It.was.so.worth.it!
But I definitely do plan on enjoying the break from routine before it all starts again next Feb.
They look stunningly gorgeous! A little peek into the future there and the hearts they will be breaking. So pleased it went well.
Dance is so good for them, rhythm, movement, style, grace and the being on stage is such so good for their confidence. They both look so cute, I think you have every reason to be so proud and pleased. But yes, it is a lot of work so enjoy the time off too.
Your two little ballerinas look super gorgeous! I’ll bet you are very proud.
Precious pictures… They looks adorable.
You have two pretty girls and those photos are priceless. Enjoy your little ones. Di x
Ahh the joys of being a ballet mum. I remember it well.
Your wee girls look gorgeous, Kat. Well done to all of you! :o)
Oh my! They are – can it be? – even more adorable than usual!!
You & Flutter Dad must be bursting your buttons. 😀
They are very cute….two performances ,what a feat.x
Sweet! You took some great photos, I do love that one of her hanging on the bar.
Look at your little sugar plum fairies. They are too beautiful for words. Congratulations.
So beautiful! I do particularly love the one of Abbie swinging off the bar

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you won my Sew Mama Sew giveaway! Please email me at chezrooblog at gmail dot com to let me know your address :). Your girls look adorable by the way.
Just so sweet
But who is copyrighting your own daughters? That is crazy, but it seems to be the way of things nowadays…
So sweet! Miss Davies, our ballet teacher would have freaked at all that loose hair though!
Aw, such cute wee ballerinas, and the plastered on makeup is distinctly more elegant than it was when I was that size (blue eye shadow if I recall o.O)
Adorable girls! Reminds me of a picture of my daughter at that age –you can see her face as a woman (especially Hannah). Hope your family has a wonderful Holiday! I know I’m looking forward to some time off too!!
