Maddie Grace's 1st Dance Recital

Maddie performed in her 1st dance recital in June. My parents and Hailey came to watch her. Maddie was in two dances. The first was "Itty Bitty", and I can't even explain how proud we were of her. The girl loves to perform, and she was so cute! Her 2nd dance was to Jackson Five's version of "My Girl", and it was a Daddy/Daughter dance. For those of you that know Marty, you have probably heard or witnessed how great of a dancer he is! All the other moms made comments about how smooth he is on his feet. Maddie definitely gets her skills from him, and it was so sweet to watch her with her daddy on stage. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures of the stage. On a side note, let me just say that it is so strange to see your four year old in fake hair and full make-up. It's not something that I would want to get used to, but it is a requirement of the dance studio.

Maddie was so tired after her big night. Papaw had the most beautiful lavender roses to present to Maddie, but we decided it would be better to wait until the next morning. Preston presented her with a sucker bouquet, and Mamaw bought her a charm of ballet shoes for her charm bracelet.
