Velveteen Rabbit

The last singer's company performance:

The girls adore Mrs. Nina

and Mackayla really couldn't have done it without Kristen.

 Here's Mackayla and her most favorite friend Claire. They are the cutest girls! 

 Each of the girls got a rose from Mrs. Nina but by the time we went back to get them there were only two left. Macey and Mackayla picked them out, but then one more girl came over to get one and was really upset when there were none left. Macey didn't even hesitate to give her the last rose she had gotten moments before. I have to admit I didn't even think of asking her to do that.  She makes me happy.

 The girls' dance recital was the next night.

They did The Velveteen Rabbit 

Mackayla was, clearly, a bunny

 Macey was a tin soldier in tap

 They actually read the Velveteen Rabbit story to the kids and had the dance numbers during the story

 It was such a sweet performance.

Their dance class was small and the teacher was very good at teaching fundamentals and basics and getting them down well.

I loved it and the girls did too, although, Macey claims she is done with dance and wants to do soccer again! We'll see what spring brings!
