Ballet Recital

Ella had her final dance class and the instructors invited the parents in for a little "performance"! It only lasted about 30sec. and no one knew what they were doing...but they gave them all tutus and tiaras so what could be better than that!!!!


They were so good they even did an encore!!!!

The Alphabet Song

For weeks Ella has been singing the alphabet sans the letter J because she just wanted to sing it "her" way! But I think we finally got it! Despite the fact she could not carry a tune in a bag (she gets that from her mommy) it's pretty darn cute. She has been singing it non-stop!
