Dancing Queen....

Could it really get much cuter than this?  I have posted this to death on Facebook, but I hope to someday print out my complete blog so my kids can see what I was thinking as we bumbled through life together, so I feel compelled to post in honor of Ruby's dance recital.

They were adorable!  Much to my amazement, Ruby seemed to suddenly remember her dance during the recital, however her classmates did not, so poor Ruby just had to shake her pom pons in frustration at the others as they stood there looking at one another.

My favorite part of the evening.... when the curtain opened, and the whole audience gave an audible "AWWWWWWWWWWW" as they saw the six tiny dancers on the stage. My Ruby being the tiniest of them all.  :) (Yes I know there are only five here, this was dress rehearsal!)  

Ruby had a huge audience, Grandpa Tim, Granny, Nana, Grandma Janice, Bubba, Michelle, Dad, Noah, Ricky, Matthew, Clara, and of course her adoring mommy.  I think I spent more on tickets than I did for the second semester of dance class.  :)  It was worth every penny.  Ruby was so excited and proud when she saw all those people who came to watch her.  Here's Ruby with her Nana.

And Ruby with her Grandpa Tim and Great Granny....

And best of all, Ruby with her very proud Mommy....

Ruby is already looking forward to her dance show next year.  She's discovered "Dem zoos dat make dat clicky sound!"  (Tap shoes!!!)

God is good.  All the time.
