Recitals and Special Visitors

Be prepared for lots of pictures of a sweet girl in a purple tutu :)  On Thursday, May 29th Reagan had her dress rehearsal for the big recitals!!  (The night before was just a rehearsal in regular dance clothes!)  She was so excited and the girls did so great!
 

This guy was such a trooper through dress rehearsal...thankfully after Reaggie was done we were able to leave.  iPads make everything better when you're almost 3!

We weren't allowed to video or take pictures on actual recital days, so dress rehearsal night was when you could do it.  I was trying to video and take pictures...I kind of needed a 3rd arm!

We stayed at my mom and John's that night and went to Longwood on Friday with Heather and Tobin.  As always the kiddos had a great time!



  

Friday afternoon it was time to get ready for the first big performance!  We were so excited for our Reagan!! Keith, Landon, and I were going together Friday night and Reaggie's sweet friend Anna, and her wonderful momma, Amy, came too!










Reagan, Julia, and Abby at intermission...Reagan just had 4 girls in her class, they were adorable!

Reaggie and Anna...such sweet, sweet friends!

Keith and Landon left at intermission, since it was already 7:30 (bedtime!) and they had an hour long drive home.  Reagan REALLY wanted to stay and watch the whole recital, she's way into the hip hop and jazz dances, so we did, which didn't end until after 9!!  We then went to Dairy Queen with Anna and Amy to get some ice cream, which then turned into a McDonald's run for R because she was starving having ate dinner at 4:00!  Needless to say we didn't leave until about 10 and Reagan was SPENT!!

Saturday was a day off from recitals, BUT VERY SPECIAL VISITORS WERE ARRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Keith took the kiddos to soccer and I went to Baltimore to pick up............

ELLEN and her precious little man Evan!!  I have not seen this girl since right before she got pregnant with Evan, and he is 14 months old!!  LOVE HER!!

Saturday night we went out to dinner to our favorite spot, Cantwells Tavern.  There was music and the weather couldn't have been nicer!  Reagan of course wanted to dance :)

Our sweet neighbors came with us too!

Little Evie man!

Sunday morning was back to PA for another recital!  Keith stayed home with Evan and Landon, Ellen and I took Reagan, who had quite the cheering section!! (we weren't able to get Reagan until the END of the recital on Sunday, which was from 12-3:30!!  LONG recital, but so good!)







This sweet dancer had more flowers than she knew what to do with and even got her first trophy!

We are so proud of Reagan with how well she did learning her dance and also doing it so well on stage.  Some of the girls were a little nervous about being on stage in front of so many people, but that didn't phase Reagan for a second.  She was ready to get out there and do her thing!  So proud of you Reagan Mae!!
