Marleigh's First Dance Recital

I think I have mentioned before that we have been taking Marleigh over to Pre-Ballet dance class once a week.  This past Saturday was her big recital.  She was beyond excited!

The dancers are supposed to wear certain makeup colors and all fix their hair the same way.  I was a little hesitant about the makeup.  Marleigh is only 5 years old.  Daddy convinced me a little makeup wouldn't hurt.  He didn't want her to be the only without it on.  So, I took Marleigh shopping to pick out her makeup.  Oh my...  she was grinning ear to ear and shrieking, she was so happy.

Marleigh is a very lucky little girl.  She had quite the crowd come watch her dance.  Grandma and Grandpa Johnson drove all the way from Mound City to see her dance.  Aunt Shannon, Luke, and Zoey made the trip from Hutchinson, Great Aunt K made the short drive from Hoisington, and Papa and Gigi were there, too!  She had a whole cheering section!  We hope they all know how much we appreciate them making the effort to come to the recital!

Makeup on and ready to go!

The girls' outfits were adorable!

After the show.  I don't think she stopped smiling for
the rest of the day! 

The video quality isn't the best, but Marleigh is second from the right.

As we were driving home, I teared up a couple of times.  God has done amazing things in Marleigh's young life.  I am humbled by His goodness.
