Lauren and Ashlyn's Dance Recital

When Lauren and Ashlyn had a dance recital in December, it was obvious Ashlyn had learned a lot from her big sister, Lauren!  Lauren is a great dancer and performer!  She loves to dance and is very expressive when she preforms.  It was SO funny to watch how animated Ashlyn was during her first dance recital!

Brittney did a great job choreographing a dance for each age group!  Ashlyn's class of 4 year olds was absolutely darling!!  They danced to a cute song about how they would all act like angels before Christmas because angels get more presents.

But AFTER Christmas, "I'll be a devil once again!".  Ashlyn was so excited to get to jump up at the end with the devil horns.  She practiced sticking her tongue out for her devil face for weeks, but when it came time for the performance,  she couldn't help smiling! 

It was SO cute!!  I loved every minute of it!!
It was fun to watch Lauren and see how much she has grown as a dancer.

She looks so happy and confident when she dances!  It's a little scary seeing how fast she is growing up though! 

 I had a harder time getting pictures of her because of where I was sitting.  I got a bunch of pictures with the back of people's heads!  Ug. Jason got both of their dances on video and it was been really fun to watch them!

Having Ashlyn in dance has been good for Lauren and Ashlyn's relationship.  Lauren went to Ashlyn's dance practices each week and learned Ashlyn's dance routine so she could practice with her.  It was really sweet.
