May 29, 2012...Hailey's 2nd time on the big stage! Here she is getting ready for her 1st tap dance rehersal/recital as Pocahontas! She's been waiting for this and loves make-up & hair day!
Lindsey enjoyed the almost vacant auditorium & watching with her friend Ella Pratt for their rehersal
After rehersal...it was time to get ready for the real deal...so Mommy/Daughter mani's it was
June 2, 2012...the Real Deal...can't even describe her excitement and once again, she insisted that she had no nervous bones in her body.
Backstage with her dance friends...Autumn & Hailey
Hailey & Kennedy sit in the balcony, waiting for the recital to start(at the Roanoke Civic Center)

The dance recital is getting ready to start, and Lindsey is so excited to watch her big sister!
We were soooo proud of Hailey and everyone met her backstage after her performance...for flowers, hugs and pictures!
Macy & Hailey
And one more picture with Aunt Julie
More performances went on all day Saturday and of course Hailey wanted to go watch. Luckily after 2 hours the girls were ready to go...but not until they placed at the fountain for a bit...
Needless to say, all the pennies in my purse are in that fountain. Hailey had to explain to Lindsey why people throw money into the fountain..."Lindsey, you have to make a wish and pray, then throw your penny in the water...and then it will come true!"

Hailey wanted to watch the rest of the recital...and we certainly tried, but at 11pm, Lindsey was asleep and Hailey was very tired herself, so we called it a night...with 23 dances left! But Hailey wasn't leaving without pictures with her dance friends/teachers. Thank goodness we found them backstage.

and yes, she had her princess, dress-up shoes on...wan't gonna fight that battle.
We had so much fun, but this weekend was very exhausting! Funny how the next few nights before the girls went to bed, Hailey would say, "Mom, I'm gonna go practice my dance now." And sure enough, Lindsey would follow. Why? Because, believe it or not, after watching every dance practice, Lindsey knew almost the whole routine her self and ran through the house saying, "heel gether, heel, gether...rainbowww!" I don't know if I'll every forget those words...
