Thursday night was Ella’s last ballet class of the year. Parents and Grandparents got to come in and watch and we all brought Christmas goodies for a holiday party before the Christmas break. You can see in the photo above that Ella lost one of her ballet shoes and we were forced to wear our Sunday shoes instead! Luckily, her Easter shoes still fit, we just swapped out the ribbons for pretty pink ones and nobody seemed to notice.
The girls were excited to have us there and it was so funny to watch them dance. They did two Christmas routines and a dance to the Mickey Mouse Club song. Some kids were really free spirited and danced all around. Ella was very focused and checked her feet a hundred times to make sure she was standing in her spot! I think she’s really worried about minding since Santa’s visit is just around the corner…
I’m hoping to have a video upload in the next few days, so you can see how adorable they all looked. They sang along and had a great time dancing for us all.
After their routines and a few dance move demonstrations across the room, we had a little party. Each parent brought something for them to eat and a few moms brought goody bags filled with Silly Bands, rice crispy treats, bracelets and candy. Ella had a great time and we can’t wait for classes to start again in a few more weeks!
