Kendra's Recital

Last night was Kendra's dance recital. What a crazy night. Jill, Jana and I helped getting her ready backstage between her ballet and ballroom numbers. Boy did we have to move quick, I think she had maybe 12 minutes in between to get changed and for us to sprial curl her hair. Her ballet teachers told me that we should just get some fake hair at Sally's to go over her bun so we didn't have to curl it since we didn't have much time...well we freakin' did it. Kendra looked amazing when we were done with her. So her and Christian went near the stage entrance waiting for their turn and us girls went up on the balcony to watch her. Right after we sat down I asked Jill if Kendra had her earrings on...of course I forgot that part. So I threw off my heels and ran down stairs. When I got into the room I couldn't find the earrings...I was so irritated, I knew I had them. Anyway I found them on the ground thank goodness and rushed to put them on her and then back up stairs. I didn't realize how much time I had, I was able to watch the entire dance before them. However on the way up I stepped in I don't know what, but it was wet and sticky...it was nasty! I just new if I would have done all that running in heels I wouldn't have made it so quickly.

The performance by Kendra and Christian was awesome, they did such a fantastic job. I am so thankful to Jill for taking so much time to teach these 2 the cha cha. Kendra loved it and I can tell that Christian really enjoyed himself up on that stage also. He "owned" that stage! (You had to be there). Anyway, the kids did so great. I wasn't able to tape Kendra's ballet dance during the recital, but I taped it during the rehersal. But I was able to video her ballroom dance...and I have a few cute pictures of the kids getting ready.

So...thanks again Jill, I really appreciate your time and effort in teaching Kendra how to do a little ballroom...I hope there is more to come! Love ya!

Here are the pics and videos.....
