Tiny Dancer(s)

Last weekend I had my very first dance recital of the 'Kids in Motion' Jazz, Tap and Ballet class I have been taking this fall. Mom and Dad (along with all the other parents) came video-equipped and caught the action on tape.
Here we go:

Celebration Station

You would think 33 is some sort of special age...

Dad had lots of celebrations for his birthday this year.

Which is great!

He deserves it.

Plus we all got to eat a LOT of cake. Mom and I made a heart-shaped, double-layered chocolate cake from scratch, topped with home made buttercream chocolate icing. It was gooooood (if we do say so ourselves).

Then at Grandma and Grandpa's we had another huge delicious chocolate cake with dad's name on it!

Yum.

Portrait-Perfect

This past weekend we went to see Grandma's art show at the library in Thornbury. When we got there, Grandma and Grandpa had planned a big surprise for my mom and dad...they had commissioned a portrait of Yours Truly as a special gift! Even I knew about it but kept it a secret (I am really good at that now).

Here are some shots of my surprised, thrilled parents when they came upon my beautiful portrait hanging on the wall of the art show!
