Calissa's Dance Recital

Calissa's dance recital was last Saturday night.  She had pictures the Saturday before and then a dress rehearsal the Friday night before out in Antioch.
 Here she is before her pictures.  I was not a fan of her costume and voiced my disapproval, but what to do when it's a week before the performance?  When she put it on for the first time it was sooooo bad, but after an hour of alterations (thanks mom) it was definitely much better and at least a little more modest! 

 The theme this year was "Everything Old is New Again."  Most acts danced to older music that has been remade recently.  As always it was a really nice show.
 Travis and Parker were off in Utah running Ragnar, so it was just Conner and I, 
 and Grandma and Grandpa to support Calissa.
 She performed in the 1st half of the show,  but sat out in the audience with us for the 2nd half.  They danced  a tap number to "The Time (Dirty-Bit)" by the Black Eyed Peas.  She did amazing and I think she was the best one up there!  She was definitely the smallest, but she held her own.
 Here is the curtain call at the very end of the show.
 Congratulations Calissa!  We're very proud of you!
Here she is with her favorite teacher, Michelle!

(Now we can throw that costume away!)
