Dance Dance Dance!

So Marin had her very first dance recital this past Saturday. She has been anticipating this event all year long and I think it lived up to her expectations! She was totally adorable. She took her dancing very seriously. Oh, it was so cute! She had a dress rehearsal in the morning and then the real deal at night. Her grandma came all the way from Wyoming and "Grandma and Grandpa St. George" (what she calls them) came as well. No pictures or filming were allowed at the night recital, so my brother Jaren and his wife Callie sat through the entire dress rehearsal to take pictures with their fancy camera. Don't you think that's love? It lasted 3 hours on a Saturday and they stayed the whole time! Marin was a trooper for those three hours, but during her 3rd and last dance, she decided she'd had enough. She untucked her shirt and got this ticked off look on her face, then stopped dancing. Her teacher had to escort her off the stage. Luckily she didn't do that at the night performance. Here are a few of the pictures Callie took (I love them so much Callie, thanks a million!):







After the marathon rehearsal we all went up the canyon and had a picnic. We are lucky to live just a few miles from all of this beauty!



And then my all-time favorite 2 pictures were Marin picking her nose and post nose-pick. Love them!

Thank you to all of my family who came and made Marin's first recital so fun!
