Alli's turning 4!

Well ... not for another week, but she got her annual portraits taken today ...

This was my favorite shot of the set -- it shows her absolute joy of life --

Classic Movie-Star pose ... or so I was told by the photographer ...

I wanted to capture Alli's love for the baby inside of Mommy's tummy ...

Dress Rehersal

Today was Dress Rehersal for Saturday's big recital. The theme of their dance is "Blue Hawaii" (Elvis, baby!) and the girls do a beautiful little modified hula thing. It was the first time I got to see it and it made me giggle.

Alli's "Pre-Ballet" dance class of 3 year olds.

The class is 15 strong!
Being the shortest (surprise!) she is the one on the bottom right.

Hard to take photos in the dark theatre,

but had to capture Alli's joy of being in the dance/performance environment.

She is so excited!

Daddy's biggest fans

Occasionally if the games are early enough, we'll go check out one of Daddy's softball and/or volleyball games and cheer him on. The kids love the atmosphere, learn that exercise is fun, and love to cheer with their Packer pom-poms! Here they are at this week's softball game:
