Hallee's Dance Recital

Hallee is in a tween combo class and she loves it.  She goes once a week and it is right by our house so it's very convenient.  

Last week was her last week of dance before summer and Saturday she had her recital.  They did the recital at UVU and we had to be there for almost nine hours.  Hallee had a good attitude about it, but I complained to anyone who would listen!

After the dress rehearsal Mel came over to the college and did Hallee's hair.  She was a lifesaver, her hair looked so cute.  She dropped Amarie off at our house and picked up some supplies for us when I realized that we weren't going to make it home for lunch.

It was so nice to hang out with Mel while we were waiting for the first show.  

Hallee loved her hair.  She told me later that maybe Mel could teach me how to do hair and Tiff could teach me how to paint faces.  Then she paused and said, "What are you good at mom?" Ha!

I told Hallee that I'm good at taking lots of pictures!

Hallee ate her lunch and then she went back stage and hung out with her class.  She brought a book, a notebook and fidgets to play with throughout the day.

She looks like a teenager!

She had a big group there watching her.  Grandma, grandpa, Tiff, Tessa, Mel, Amaire, Caitlyn, me, Keith and Wyatt.  She was thrilled that everyone was there to see her dance.  Jonah had to work so he couldn't come.  We weren't able to get a group picture because Hallee was backstage and didn't get to come out after the first show. 

She was in two dances.

She did great in both of them.  They were both really cute. 

At the end of the show they had all of the performers come out on stage and dance around while they played a slideshow of all of their pictures.  Hallee was having so much fun up there.  She loves to perform.

The performances ended up being almost two hours and she had to do it twice. She loved performing, but I think she got tired of the waiting around.  She did great in both shows!

After Hallee finished her second show we met up with Mel, Amarie, Caitlyn and Tiff for dinner.  Hallee had been snacking all day and she wasn't hungry so Keith came and picked her up.  She was ready to be home after her long day!
