Our little Dove

Today was the day that Piper has been working all year for - her dance recital. They were dancing to "Snow White, Kicked Up a Notch" - it was really cute from what I got to see (sadly only 2 songs). Last fall Piper decided that she wanted to be a ballerina after watching a Saturday morning cartoon with Angelina Ballerina in it (a mouse ballerina for the non-cartoon crowd). There were many times that I wasn't sure that we would make it to the recital today b/c she lost interest for about a month but then got right back into it again. Gosh, it was so worth it to watch her today - I was in tears seeing my oldest daughter dance, she is getting so big :( Unfortunately Ruby would not let me stay to watch much but I got to see Piper - thank goodness too (you will understand that after seeing the video). I gave pretty strict instructions (yes instructions) not to try anything fancy with the camera b/c it would look bad and this was important to me to have as a memory for our family. Well, hubs panned out (huh, what happened to instructions?) and then when he tightened back up again it was on the wrong little girl. Sooo, we now have 10+ seconds of Lilly, a little brunette from Piper's class, dancing instead of our daughter - if he would have just listened to me for once *shaking head*. Matt is available to video tape all of your special functions but beware that instead of the birthday girl he might tape the drunk uncle :)
