Adrianna's Ballet Recital

Adrianna had her first-ever ballet recital today.  She loves ballet and takes it very seriously, and even though she is the youngest girl in her class she is usually the most focused!

She has been practicing her Swan Lake routine for a while and was so ready to get up on the big stage today.  Her costume was beautiful and she had her favorite color feathers in her hair and pin as accessories!  Her ballet bun was just perfect.....my first go at using a sock-bun and I think it turned out beautiful!

We took a few photos outside before it was showtime!!  What a beautiful ballerina!!

Abigail's Red Belt Test

Today was a very busy day for us--Abigail had her red belt test and Adrianna also had her very first ballet recital.  Quintin and I had to split up so we could make it to both.

Winding up for a powerful kick

 This was Abby's longest belt test so far. It was about 4 hours of written test, workout, demonstrating her kicks, punches, forms, one-steps and ended with over an hour of sparring black belts!!  She did a great job and felt great when it was all over!  

We are so proud of her strength, discipline, and dedication.  She is on her way to being a black belt and is only 8 years old!!

Sparring one of the many black belts she had to fight today!

Look at those red cheeks!!! 

Guidance from Master Morgan...keep it up and you will soon be a black belt!

Waiting to put on her new belt!

Abby looks fabulous in red--watch out!!
