1st Dance Recital for Rio & the Nutcracker

What a fun week we had in December!

Rio got to preform in her 1st dance recital and was SO GOOD and SO CONFIDENT and we also got to watch cousin Ella as "Clara" in the Nutcracker - what an honor that was for her to be chosen out of her whole company.

The after show included Gabe playing "shoes" (a Spencer classic game) with his brother Luke and my trio.

Cute Anna was a little mouse in the show and she was so adorable!

And there is Clara herself!

Ella is an amazing dancer and she works so hard for all she does.

She was amazing!

And there is my Rio...I was so incredibly proud of her.  She is my shy, timid little lady and yet when she preforms or sings at church, she has always been amazing and yet, I was still super worried about how she would feel on that big stage but...

she was so good and honestly so happy to be up there.  I was so proud of her for her hard work but more proud of her for her courage and happiness she was able to show.

Love you Ri!

Bad pic but cute, cute girls!  Rio is right in the middle.

Love that smile!


She is so silly and was totally excited to have so many support her.

Hopefully, the first of many fun recitals to come.  Love having our only girl and share in her joy :)

So proud of you Rio and we love you so much!
