Saturday, May 30th was Tiffany's recital for the end of the year. She was going to show off everything she's been learning all year. So, it was something exciting and something were really looking forward to.
In the morning, we got up at 6 AM so that we could get ready for dress rehearsal that was supposed to go from 9A-12P. HAH! What a joke. Practice ALWAYS goes longer for us comp teams. LOL. It's ok, I expect it. So, it's not like it's a surprise.
They went through everything except for the tumbling piece and we still didn't get out of there until 12:55 PM. Crazy. While we were at practice, Josh went shooting with Alton and had a blast (no pun intended- lol!).
We went home and Josh had made us lunch. After lunch, Tiffy practiced her Mickey dance a couple times (she'd messed up a couple times during rehearsal) and then I had to wash all the makeup off of Tiffy's face cause she'd made a complete mess of it. So, she went to bed with a clean face. She took her nap (it's absolutely needed on crazy days like recitals- keeps her from being too emotional and there can be no crying with makeup on as its just too hard to fix).
I got her up around 3PM and got her ready for the recital. We had to be there early so we could get good seats. So, we were there by 4:45PM even though we didn't have to be there till 5:30P. We got great seats (which was the plan- plus I was saving seats for 3 other friends and their families). We got 4th row center and took up 2 rows- lol.
Tiffy was #4 with Hey Mickey and did great! She is so cute and did a fantastic job.
#5 was Taylor J's routine. It's always so cute to watch the 3 year olds. Makes me think of when Tiffy was so little and dancing. lol.
After #5, I got up and went to get Tiffy changed for her tumbling routine which was #14. Once I got her changed, I went back and sat down to watch until she came on. I don't typically take her to tumbling and they don't let us watch unless it's an observation day (which is only 2xs a year). So, it was nice to see her onstage and see how much she's improved in even the last few months. I am so proud of her and how hard she has worked! She worked really hard over the summer and got bumped to intermediate. She is in one of the best in her intermediate class. So, its realy nice to see. She is very techinical about the way she does everything- dance and tumbling so its fun to see.
After Tumbling was the intermission. So, I had to go get her changed for her Production number which was at the end and #30. I went back and sat down and watched until she came on. Poor Taylor S. (Tiffy's best friend) was SO sick. She sucked it up and did really good considering how sick she was. Tiffy did awesome as always. So very cute! She is the Sheriff and loves her part.
After the production number, they did the finale and after that, it was over. I went onstage to go get her and gave her the flowers we'd bought for her as a congratulations for all her hard work for the year. She was excited to get it. We got a couple cute pics of her, with her and Taylor, and then by the awards they won this year at competions.
We went to get her changed and we were told that as a souveneir for the year, they get to keep a horse (which was one of their props) and of course Tiffy was ecstatic about that. So, we went to get one. After we picked ours up, i got a cute pic of Tiffy and her friend and teammate Kylie.
We then went and got her changed into her traveling uniform so that we could go to Coldstone with our friends. I got a really cute pic of Tiffy and Josh. Shows how very proud of her he is.
