ballet rehearsal and photos

Liesl's dance studio has an annual spring performance, scheduled for June 16th. This weekend was a dress rehearsal and picture day, necessitating the full donning of costume, hair, and makeup. Elena decided to host a pre-photo brunch at her house, and so five of the six FPE girls in their ballet class met up for some pizza, fruit, and getting fancy together.

 My sweet, proud, beautiful girl.

 Here are the six FPE girls in the ballet class (out of 12 girls total) getting ready for their buddy photo  - I love Liesl's arms and hands in this photo, because I feel like I've seen myself making those same wildly gesticulating swirls.
