Dance Picture Day

Yesterday was a day that I do not look forward to: dance pictures. It's just a lot of work to get Sage's hair done, makeup done, make sure I have all her shoes, tights and costume pieces (she is in THREE classes this year). She likes pictures, but they decided to do it on what would turn out to be the most inconvenient time for ME. The nerve, right? It wasn't a huge deal, but out of all the weekends in March, they choose a Sunday that I'm singing and where my usual help in these cases is 15 hours away. We made it though. My mother-in-law arrived to my house to watch Jaggar about 15 minutes after I got home from church. I ordered and paid for food for all us from the cafe' at church that morning to be picked up for when I was leaving. Pictures were at 1:00; I left church at noon. We had about 30 minutes to get ready before we had to leave, but it worked out. I have to say that the girls are definitely getting older because what used to be a nightmare went really smooth yesterday. Surprisingly smooth. So smooth we got done AHEAD of the scheduled time.

How cute is she for tap? I love her costumes this year, and out of 4 years, this is definitely one of my favorites. Her's too.
Group picture. Sage is on the lower right.

Ready for her ballet individual shot. LOVE this costume, too. Why? Because it has the perfect tutu.

And she loves the crown. They are dancing to "I've got a dream" from Tangled.

Ballet group shot. Sage is front and center, exactly how she likes it.

And here's some hip hop group shots. I'm not sure about that visor upside-down, but whatever. Some moms were complaining that we weren't doing a side ponytail. I said, "Honestly, I couldn't care less because it makes my life easier not having to redo anything more than I already have to." Fact.

This is a HUGE class. Sage is on the lower right again. Busy day and SO glad it's over! I'll post her actual pictures when I get them back.
