my olson family: olive and hazel's spring dance recital

May 17, 2015

yesterday was olive and hazel's ballet recital

we had a full day

first i got up early and ran 11 miles outside

it was hard but good and i feel really ready for the half in two weeks

then i got the girls ready for their dress rehearsal

after that we got lunch at chick fil a and then made our way back for the recital that evening

here are our pretty girls all ready to go

the production was wizard of oz

olive was an emerald city child

hazel was a china doll clown

eleanor needed to wear a ballet outfit, too

backstage coloring

and legos

i couldn't believe how much olive has improved since her last recital

she did really well

hazel did great, too!

final bows

they love getting flowers from their dad

olive was confused after the dress rehearsal why she didn't get any flowers :)

we went out for ice cream to celebrate

at a new place called delsa's

the bubblegum club

orange flavor burst

i am so proud of our beautiful dancers

hazel has now danced for 4 years

this was olive's first full year of ballet

(she'd done a partial year and a full year of tap)

i'm so excited for eleanor to join the ranks in the fall

miriam said...: 1- you look UH-MAZING.
2- i remember taking a maybe year old Sidney to watch hazel dance. I was amazed she sat and watched basically the whole thing, totally into the performance. so, we can basically give hazel credit for sidney's interest in dance which then has passed down to michaela ;) hazel and olive are such beautiful little dancers and i'm sure eleanor will be too!; May 19, 2015 at 11:49 AM
