MELT MY HEART~

Grace had her first dance recital on Sunday. Dude, can I just tell you all how sweet it was. My heart is still warm and fuzzy. I cried when she performed and I cried when she came out at the end for her curtain call. It was her first time on stage and I am so proud of her. There were 500 people watching and she did it. I know I would have froze up, but my girl did her thing. It was priceless and I wish you all could have been there to see it.

Once the show was over, I went backstage and gave Grace a bouquet of flowers. Then we all took her out to dinner where she was beaming from ear to ear. The pictures posted of her on stage are from her dress rehearsal on Saturday. We weren't aloud to take video or photos on the day of the actual show. The other pics are from Sunday.

I have to give props to Denny, also, who sat for two hours, the entire length of the show. That's pretty impressive too!

WE'RE ALL DANCING FOR THE HOLIDAYS

On Friday Grace's dance class had a Christmas party. So all the parents were able to watch the girls dance for a 1/2 hour then they all snacked on cookies and other goodies. The teacher asked that the girls wear red and green for the party instead of their regular dance gear. I could see such an improvement already from the last time we sat in her class. The girls did the cutest x-mas dance. Once I get more organized, I will post the video on here. Until then, I hope these pictures capture the sweetness of it all.

On Saturday we had Bob's work party. I was super excited because he has only been with this company for a few months so it was my first time meeting everyone. We took the kids to Mom and Joe's and got a hotel in Westlake where the party was. The dinner was amazing and the drinks were even better. I was sucking down Pinot like the world was coming to an end. I wish I would have asked the bartender what brand it was b/c it was delicious! So after X amount of drinkies, I was busting a move. I haven't danced in a long ass time. Then the bonus of an already great night was meeting up with my girl Stacia after the party ended. It was a much needed, fun filled night out for Bob and I.
