Spring Dance Recital!

You can tell by the huge smile on Emily's face that she was so excited for her recital!  Her dance recital this time was "Tangled" and the costumes, headbands & props were so cute!  Her dance teacher "Miss Julie' really does a fabulous job at her recitals, and it was a huge success! 

Here are a few pictures before the big show.
Emily loved her long flowing, blonde hair.  She wishes she had real hair this long.

She did one ballet and one tap dance to the wonderful "Tangled" songs.  Emily really loves all the songs in the movie, and so did all the girls.  You could see several girls singing along as they were dancing!

After her first dance, which was ballet, she came and sat on my lap and said "I just wish I could stay on the stage forever! I love dancing!"

Once on stage Emily gets super confident and follows the dance exactly!  She is a very graceful dancer and knows just what to do.  She is made so much improvement in the last two years in her social skills.So much of her new indepedence and self confidence is because of her loving, amazing dance teacher, Julie!

Great job Emily! We love you and are so proud of you! 

We were so happy to have Grandma Deppe come to SLC just to see Emily's recital.  We had so much fun with her and really appreiciate her coming from Boise for the show. 
We had a BBQ with her on Friday night and then walked to the Shiver Shack.  Then Sat. Taylor had a soccer game, and a baptism of his friend.  Then we all went to the recital, had lunch and took Grandma to the airport.  Sat. night we had a team BBQ for Tay's soccer team up Emigration Canyon.
It was a great weekend!  We were really busy, and it was tons of fun!
