Tonight was Audrey's first dance recital!

This was a non-costume recital (they rotate between costume and non-costume every other year), so I think it was supposed to be more low key.  But I found the whole recital process to be stressful!  From putting Audrey's hair in a bun and getting all the "wispies" to smooth down flat to putting makeup on her to volunteering to help backstage (never again!).  Whew!  I'm glad it's over.

This one was from dress rehearsal:

For the most part, she seemed to know what she was doing, and she seemed to be having fun!  Every time I got a glimpse of her face during the recital tonight, she was smiling!
