You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only---two....

Friday night was our daughter's very first dance recital! EVER! She is just two and the youngest in her class, but she did soooooo well!!!! I am just so thrilled and proud of our little girl!!! Here she is just before going on stage!

Little bit "deer in the headlights", huh? teehee She typically HAMS. IT. UP. Kirsten loves the camera. :) However, she fell asleep in the car on the way there and was trying to wake up. lol

Their little group danced to the song "Poison Ivy" and oh my goodness were they CUTE!

Everyone said that she knew the dance moves better than most of the little girls, but my eyes were glued to her the entire performance...so I will just take their word for it. ;) After they finished dancing, they all lined up and the dance studio's owner asked them each their name and age. Each little girl peered into that "giant" micophone and gave her name...some timidly, some vibrantly. I sat there thinking "Kirsten will just stare out into the crowd and say her classic: "Uh...uh...uh..." But NO!!!!! I was pleasantly surprised when she gave her name AND age!!! That's mommy and daddy's little girl!!! We sure do LOVE the stage! Her daddy and I have been acting since we were kids, so she is just destined to love the limelight....it's in her genetics. :)

Regular dance class resumes this week and Kirsten will learn the basics of ballet, along with her normal gymnastics.

Here are some photos from that night. She cracked me up how she was OH SO SERIOUS the entire performance! Once I picked her up off-stage she was all smiles, begging to go again! Christmas recital, here we come!!!!
