Go Maya, Go Maya!

 

 

Of course once little Miss Maya saw Blakely in that dance outfit she had to have one to so I brought one of Blakely's old costumes over to Grandma and Papa's house and let her give it a try.  She loved it and looked like a born natural.  So Sweet!  It is so sweet to watch her watch Blakely and want to do everything she does.  We love that little girl!

 

Dance, Dance, Dance...

 

 

From one activity to another this girl is active!  Today we had Blakely's end of the  year dance recital.  She looked so pretty in her costume and all done up with the make up and hair.  She just loves to get all done up. So cute!  Drew actually likes to see her this way just as much as she likes it.  He stands their beside her the whole time watching her get ready.  It is so sweet.  This year Blakely got to do three dances - tap, ballet and prejazz.  She was so excited about that.  She did a great job and we are all so proud of her.  Thank you Grammy and Pa for making this happen for her.  She loves it. 

 

Dance, Dance, Dance!!!

Blakely did such a great job at her Christmas Dance Recital.  Thank you so much Grandma, Papa, Grammy and Pa for coming out to watch her.  She is really a good dancer.  This year she is taking tap, ballet, and jazz.  Every year they make her the line leader - that's a hard job and she does GREAT!  Way to go B!!
 

Thank you!

 
After the recital we headed to {GUESS}??? - the donkey!  Not to hard to figure out looking at the pictures.  Blakely was on Cloud 9 at this point and she totally deserved to be.  She did wonderful.  After a great lunch/dinner (Thanks Papa) we headed home to wind down and then head to bed.  Blakely was so excited with all her goodies and Drew was actually proud and happy for her once we got home.  Again - THANK YOU so much for everyone that supported her.  She loved it and will remember this forever.  Just a little about the gifts/pictures because I use this blog as our family scrapbook and want to be able to remember in years to come.  Grandma and Papa got Blakely a lollipop bouquet.  It was so cute and she loved it.  They also got her a gift bag full of Blakely's favorites - notepads and pencils.  Quinn gave Blakely the cutest little candy tube with candy and money. (Sorry Quinn - no picture!)  She has already eaten the candy and is totally ready to go spend her money.  Aunt Catherine and the Westbrook Boys know exactly what to get a little dance - she got her a shirt that says Dance, Dance, Dance.  Blakely is totally loving it.  She keeps calling it her "teenager shirt!"  So cute!  She also got her a Hello Kitty bag filled with notepads and cards.  Thank you so much!  Grammy, Pa, and Nanny got Blakely flowers which she was SO looking forward to.  All she kept saying is "After the dance recital am I going to get flowers?  I want flowers!"  So yes, she got flowers and they are beautiful.  They do a great job of getting a perfect little flower bouquet that is just her size.  I just loved it.  She has already placed them on her dresser in her room.  Grammy also got her a bracelet.  It was a red, white, and blue bracelet with a flag charm.  It was just perfect and matched the theme of the recital just perfectly.  She loves jewelry especially bracelets so this is perfect for her.  This was such a wonderful day and I am so proud of her.
