From Ballet To Birthday

Well this was a very social weekend for Gammy and Poppy. It started Saturday at a college auditorium. 150 children dressed in costume finery, for my personal favorite, (the lady bugs) to very experienced prima donna wannabes. They put on a show for two hours that was filled with drama from great toe-tapping music, to laughter to tears(that would be Jordan Ann). She came so far with her shyness to just being on stage facing a huge crowded audience. It was a little intimidating for Gammy. So dancing on her part was only successful during the dress rehearsal, which her smart Mom caught on camera. During the actual performance she was like a deer in headlights. But come her wedding day and if that photo op is shown at the rehersal dinner, no one will know what day it was. I sure won't tell or probably remember.

It was the start of a very growing experience for a little girl who will turn into a beautiful young woman just like her Mom. (Which by the way never made it to the stage in her younger years. She was only interested in the black leotard).

Carrying on with the social weekend was Sunday at Connor's third birthday. Family members came together to participate in a John Deere themed party. Cousins played and OD ed on cake and ice cream in Curt and Janelle's wonderful new addition to their home. Connor found his riding John Deere tractor before the presents were given out. But that did not matter since all parental control was out the window at that time.

All in all the weekend was a complete and fun success. Today I am taking a nap!
