Dance Recital

Not sure if I should link the hip hop dances that Ak was in?   I didn't know it till after the show when D told me the original songs have curse words in them, they were taken out but he didn't like watching her dance to those songs.  Oops -  mom fail!   Guess I need to ask next time!  And since like 1/2 of the dancers aren't members of our church- we probably don't need to play those songs in our building.   But Ak did a good job learning the routine and was proud so we tried not to squash that feeling.  
 
On a positive note!
 Ak practiced for weeks to be able to do a back bend for this number!  She reached her goal!!
He starts the song buzzing in the middle.   He's the one with the watch on.  :)

Z starts in the front, then goes into the line on the far left side.

 B got to be a "judge"!

Ak is in the middle - her hair in crazy buns prevented her wearing a hat.
When the boys come out - Z's on the far left
At the end Ak is in the middle of the right section.
 
They love doing this dance show!  
We are grateful the classes are done by Ms. Isabel volunteering her time!

B's B-day

Candles in the egg roll and a tasty cinnamon bread!  :)
Can we really have a teenager?!   Who wears size 10?!
Went to Wendys' and ice skating in Louisville with a couple of friends!  One from 3 different schools!  :)  Katya she knows from church, Emily from her elementary school, and Summer at her current school (they were locker partners last year!)   We had hot chocolate and cheesecake there to celebrate!  (and meet up with our friend's the Shirts visiting from Virginia!)
