These pictures are a little out of order, but I don't care & I know you don't.
This is Valentine's Day, also known as Tella's birthday.
She fell asleep on the couch after lunch....
Each of the kids got Valentine mailboxes, filled with candy & nutella.
Capri assembled her Valentine colored outfit all on her own. I bought her a special Hello Kitty Valentine shirt, but she wasn't interested - AT ALL. Oh well, I should just remember she's picky & independent. Slightly reminiscent of someone else I know, ahem.... me.
Valentine breakfast!
Now, to ballet. Tella's been asking since she could talk to do ballet. Finally, the day after she turned 3, she got to begin!! Here she's showing a little bit of nerves, holding tight to her pink blanket she calls "B".
Nerves almost gone, striking a sassy pose on the dance floor.
Miss Emily & learning her plies & positions.
I love this teacher. She's the same one Capri had when she took ballet.
Dancing!
Ribbon dancing!
More ribbons!
Tella's version of a curtsy.
Another curtsy, after finishing jumping over the alligators.
Every good ballerina should take a nap. And while napping, every good ballerina should hold onto their favorite pony & stockpile the rest behind her.
The end.
