What a night! Although this was Jordi's third recital, it was a milestone for little sister Caroline as it was her very first one, which made it an even
more special night for the whole family.
We began with makeup at Sephora, which we were invited to be part of thanks to one of the other moms in Jordi's class being employed there.
Although I'm not a trained professional, Caroline still seems to think that I did a good job of putting on her make-up. I didn't want her to feel left out, so I put her make-up on while we were waiting for her big sis!
I managed to take this one of Caroline backstage as she waited with her class to go on as a "Summer Daisies." (She's not just smiling for the camera, either - she was
very excited and had that big grin on her face
all night!)
Here's Jordi on stage during her "Ladybug" number, the first of her two roles that night. By the way, I'd like to thank Richard Ford for taking this picture and the next; way to go finding the perfect setting for taking ballet pictures in the dark!
We call this picture "Action Jordi," for obvious reasons! Richard took this during the tumbling number, set to the tune of "Shake, Rattle, & Roll." It was a high-energy, crowd-pleasing number!
Next post: post-recital pictures of pretty girls holding armloads of flowers! Stay tuned!
