an evening wherein ava's dream came true.

The night of Ava's first dance recital was looked forward to with much anticipation. I have to admit I was probably just as excited as Ava. I mean c'mon! Look at that adorable outfit! A little dancer in all her 1950 glory. It reminds me of a picture of my mom in her little dance recital outfit when she was the same age, circa late 50's. And although I probably would have been perfectly content if she had been one of those little dancers who just stands adorably-attired on stage eyeing the audience suspiciously, she did in fact DANCE! (Other than a brief onstage scuffle with her bff over their christmas present prop.) No matter. Jimmy and I couldn't have been more proud.
