The First Dance Recital

Liberty had the first of what I’m sure will be many dance recitals on Friday.  She has continued to be a natural and it was so much fun to watch her. 
“I wanna wear a dress and do my hair!” (said in a whiny voice).  This is what my roommates and I would say in college when one of us got to go to a dance but the rest didn’t.  Getting ready for a dance or even getting someone else ready is one of those rites of passage for us girls.  Last week I finally got to curl Liberty’s hair and get her all dolled up!  This was a dream come true.  I know, using a curling iron is not usually what you would consider big time dreams, but it was for me!  And getting to wear lipstick and blush was a big dream come true for my little dancer too!

And here is the dance!  Keep in mind these are 4-6 year olds who have never danced before.  It’s pretty funny.

And there you have it.  Libby’s first recital.  Can’t wait to do it again!

Baking goodies with Aunt Alli and Princess Buttercup!  Ooh, I just came up with that one… that should be Libby’s new nick name!!!

While Alli was here, we did something our family never does; we decided spur of the moment to head to Twin Falls to see Shoshone Falls!  They were not as full of water as we’d hoped, but it turned out to be a pretty quick and painless trip, which for our family is saying something!
