Dance recital time is here again and today was the big day for our little Maddi Belle! This year there was a change of venue due to the horrible flooding last summer, so the performance was held at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. The girls did SOOO great and it was so fun to watch her in our "VIP seats!" (ok, we got lucky and scored some awesome box seating with lots of leg room and great views). Even her brothers were so excited to watch her dance and were troopers throughout the *long* program. Afterwards, Lars went up and told Maddi that his favorite dancer of the whole show was her! WOW!! How sweet! Makes a mom proud! And who can forget the flowers that Lars gives her after every show as well. That has sort of become "his" thing for her and it is pretty darn cute! Anyway, here are some pics of the whole process, including studio rehearsal and pics *post* recital! Enjoy...
