Avery's recital was June 28th and the experience was even better than I dreamed it could be! Avery was excited to perform and the few days prior, talked all about it. The day-of she was confident, happy and couldn't wait to get going. This was her first time performing on stage...let alone on a stage with a large audience and bright lights. She did so well and nailed the routine! Proud mom right here.
Did I mention that Jeff was in the dance with Avery, too?! Talk about tear jerker...watching Jeff and Avery perform to a sweet song about a butterfly growing up and flying away made me (and everyone in the audience) reach for the tissues!
The official class photo and professional recital DVD won't be available for another month, so our personal pictures will have to suffice for now. We weren't permitted to take any pictures or videos during the show, so these are all before and after the performance. Oh, and we all surprised Avery with a group dinner out after the recital at her favorite restaurant...Souplantation!

| Putting makeup on Avery was a little mind blowing and a lot fun. Stop being 15! |

| Jeff sent me this photo from backstage. Their routine was #13 out of 20, so there was so downtime. |
