The Rohatinsky Family: Christmas Dance Recital

Both girls had such a fun time at their Christmas dance recital. It was Brooklyn's first recital and so Taylor was so excited to "show her the ropes". They had both been anxiously awaiting the recital and were ecstatic to finally be allowed to wear their costumes and of course the "required" makeup. It wasn't really required...just suggested...however, Taylor was insistent on making sure I knew she should have rosy cheeks & lipstick! (It makes me a little nervous how much they loved putting makeup on!)

We are so lucky to live close to many of our family members! Both sets of Grandparents were there cheering and taking countless pictures, as well as, Aunt Tiffiny, and Uncle Chris even made an appearance. The girls LOVED all the attention!

(Sorry the pictures aren't the best...we didn't quite figure out the best way to take them in the dark!)

(Taylor and her class prior to the performance...Thanks Julie...I stole this picture from your blog! Taylor has two of her favorite neighborhood friends, Jaynie & Andie in her class.)

Shakin' it!

Taylor gives a little love to her fan club!

Brooklyn's dance was absolutely hilarious! Brooklyn is the youngest one in her class and it is the youngest class at the studio. The girls are ages 2 1/2-3 and it is the first time Miss Paula has ever taught a class this young. But her cute little twin daughter is that age and thought it would be fun. Poor Miss Paula lost sleep weeks before the recital because at dance class she would typically be the only one doing the dance while the girls "stood on their spots with their hands on their hips" and watched Miss Paula. It turned out so cute and funny! They needed a little help and some prompting at times, not to mention to a few escape attempts off the stage by Brooklyn, but it was great! We laughed SO hard!
