Ballet Recital - 150/365

It was a busy day today!

We started at lunch with Nana, Papa, Ed, Pam, Zach and Gina. They were all in town for a baptism, but still wanted to grab lunch while they were here. We ended up going to Chad Anthony's. We haven't gone there much, but it was really good. It was so nice to see the Britts and hear all about the wedding plans.

This evening was a big night for Reagan. It was her ballet recital. She was SO excited and we were so nervous for her. We knew she would do great, but to think of our tiny baby on that big stage in front of all the people.

Nana, Papa, Grandma, Papa Greg, Adrienne, Evan and Jillian were all coming.

Unfortunately it was raining like crazy when we got there. Thankfully Papa saw us waiting by the door, so he ran out with his umbrella. His poor pant leg was soaked, but we got Reagan inside with minimal rain drops. Everyone gave her flowers before hand, so she was SO EXCITED!

We got all settled in to watch her. She did absolutely fantastic. She waved a couple times which was totally cute. We were just so proud of her!

After her dance, we all went out to Tippy for dinner. It was nice to spend time with everyone after the recital.

Britt lunch!

Ally's Dance Recital - 150/365

This evening, Nana, Jim, Reagan, and I were heading up to Amherst to watch Ally's Dance Recital! 

Nikki had us over for dinner before the recital, it was so sweet. She made chicken parmesean, salad and an awesome cake for dessert. They even had our favorite wine, Apothic Red. Everything was SO delicious! She's an amazing cook! We were all stuffed!

 We had a nice time sitting around chatting for awhile before we headed over to the theater. 

The recital was held at the Stocker Center at Lorain Community College. It was a great little theater and we had great seats. We had a good time watching all the other dancers. The costumes were just amazing! Reagan was enjoying it so much that she was trying to do exactly what they were all doing, right in her seat. We were howling! I think she may want to dance at some point! 

During intermission, Reagan was keeping Andrew pretty busy! She was making him chase her and carry her around! It was so cute! Andrew got quite the workout! 

Finally it was time to see our little star in action! She looked so adorable in her costume. It was a beautiful plum color, she looked stunning! Her group did a fabulous dance to the song "Prince Ali" from the Disney Movie Aladdin. It was so cute to see all those little ones keeping right in step with each other. They did fantastic!! We were so proud of her and so honored we could be there to watch her!

What a super fun night!

Congratulations, Ally!

Next, all of us with our favorite star...

Finally, Andrew carrying Reagan. He was such a trooper!
