Megan's tap recital

Here are a boatload of pictures from Megan's tap dance recital on Saturday 6/12. Here she is, posing in front of the house:


Could you BE any cheesier, Megan?



Showing off her cute little ruffle butt costume:


Closeup before the show...doesn't she look so grown up?!

She did a great job during her performance, and really loved being backstage with her friends. After the show we got pics with G&G Christensen: (bless their hearts for driving back up here this weekend to watch yet another long dance recital!)

Here's our whole fam:

Amy, Megan, and Chris:

This part was kind of funny...Megan reallllly wanted us to get her flowers after her dance. But we knew Katie wouldn't handle that well, since we didn't get her flowers for her dance last week. So we finangled this idea to her: Katie, do YOU want to get flowers for Megan? Yes! Well, it still didn't go well. Katie attempted to steal, bend, and break the precious carnations before finally, regretfully, giving them to Megan. This pic captures emotions of both the girls:

After the show (it was a matinee), we went out to Chili's, at Megan's request. We all ordered a big lunch, and quite a few beers, margaritas, and mango lemonades. After all the excitement, Mom & Dad C. drove back to Ohio, and we all took long naps at home. Jessica enjoyed the longest nap of all - she slept from 4:30pm til 9:00 AM THE NEXT DAY!! Yep, she went down for the night at 4:30pm, and we didn't hear a peep out of her til late the next morning! Poor thing was sooo tired.

Can't wait til next year, when we have all 3 girls in dance! Maybe we'll be lucky for once, and not have to attend separate recitals for each of them. But we'll have fun no matter what. Jessica has already decided that she will be a pink ballerina for her recital next year. (She's probably right!)
