Stopping to Smell the Roses

 I have waited so long but the day finally came.  Bunny's first ballet recital!!!!  It began and then it was over before we knew it.  It took us a few seconds to find her on stage amongst 20 ish other 3/4 year olds.  But we did find her.  And kind of got to see her a tiny bit.  : ) But the day came none the less.  She danced wonderfully!  She smiled beautifully (as always).  She even stopped to smell the roses.  What a crazy night it was but amongst pictures and running around with friends I caught this picture.

Little Man watching the other ballet groups.  He was into it.  

Two sweet friends...

 Finally our chance to catch the ballerina for a photo...

                           And here is the trio...Hard to catch them all looking the same direction.  

The Grands had to grab her for a quick picture too...

 Of course Bunny received flowers but she also had another pink surprise from her Grandy and Papa...

Yummy pink cookies! 

 Needless to say, I adored every minute of her recital.  It was fun to get her ready for it.  It was magical to watch her on stage.  But I had to remind myself, like her to stop and smell the roses while it was happening.  Because these "firsts" pass by way too quickly.
