New York, New York!!!

Backstage in the dressing room. She is a little nervous here and complaining of her straps bothering her. Oh, Gabby.
Ready for Broadway!


Jazz costume. Her poses crack me up.

On stage.

Mackenzie watches Gabby from Grandma's lap.


Chad and Gabby just before they hit the stage for their Daddy daughter dance to the song, "Shake your booty"

Flowers for the ballerina after the show!

M & M's for Chad, it being his first recital and all. Ha Ha.

Gabby's cousin Katie and Uncle Shawn and Yvonne came in from Austin to see the show.
Well, it was quite a show...four hours long to be exact. Gabby just had her third recital this past Sunday and she did fantastic. We are so proud of her. She didn't freak out or anything on the stage. She did her thing. She was in four dances, ballet, tap, jazz and daddy daughter dance. Each dance she danced her best. She was really having fun! I think she might try it again next year. Perhaps we will see her again on the stage. We'll see. I just want her to be happy and do what she likes. It is so hard not to push her to do what I want her to do. But she is so little, I don't think she even is sure what she wants. But she really did enjoy herself at the recital. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures. The first one was in the beginning in the dressing room. She was a bit nervous then, but then she really let loose toward the end. It was great getting to watch her come out of her shell and really perform. Her and Chad were so adorable together on the stage and Gabby loves being with her Daddy. It was a special time. Gabby was very lucky to have so many family members there too. I think 14 people were there just to watch her. She is a very special girl! Yeah Gabby!

Hmmmmm - perhaps she'll change her mind and decide that dancing is great fun afterall. Heck - I'd be in dance just for the fun costumes!!
