Mary Claire's first dance recital

On May 1, Nannie and I brought Mary Claire to the Tioga Auditorium for her first dance recital. Molly stayed with Poppa John and Daddy met us later. 

My high school classmate, Jennifer, just happened to be at the right place at the right time - for us! She helped me do Mary Claire's hair and makeup. 

Mary Claire had a girl in her class, Jaycee, who has Down Syndrome. Jaycee's grandmother gave Mary Claire this sweet book. 

This is Mary Claire's ballet costume. 

Mary Claire did AMAZING! I was so proud of her!!

After her ballet performance, she changed into her tap costume. 

She loved all of it and we are so proud of her!

The week before at dance practice Mary Claire got her dance trophy
