Recital Day

 This week Alan and I (and Evy) attended Maggie's little mini-recital for her ballet class.  She was so, so cute!  She LOVES ballet.  She also loved wearing a fancy skirt for her in-class Christmas performance.

Stretching

So serious

Pointing and flexing their toes.  Maggie is on the far right.

Her whole class--I think a couple girls are missing.  They are all 4-year-olds and a couple 5-year-olds, so you can see Maggie is a little tall for her age.

This is her ballet tooth fairy dance they do almost every week:

Maggie is doing grand battements across the floor (you can see that Maggie's ballet teacher is literally 9 months pregnant in this video):

Doing posses across the floor:

1st Christmas dance--"Santa, bring my brother a big old box of rocks"

2nd Christmas dance--the "reindeer dance"

Not sure yet if Maggie has inherited her mother's (and grandmother's) talent for ballet.  Ha ha.  For some reason she never really learned this second dance very well and is a few seconds behind the other girls, as you can see.  :)

This is Maggie's gingerbread house she made at preschool this morning.  I wanted to snap a picture before she started nibbling on it.
