A Ballet Party


The girls were invited to a ballet party and they had such a great time!  Emily was super excited to dress up as a ballerina!
I think Emily was struggling to stay balanced.
Such beautiful decorations.
Sharla helped do the make up for each little girl.  All 25 of them.  Way to go Sharla!
And the Star of the party was Sara Bardo.  A ballerina for the Houston Ballet.  She was so great! She had just come from a rehearsal so she was a bit tired but still enjoyed showing all the girls some moves and explaining what they mean.
I can't imagine having strong enough toes for that!  She started dancing after seeing the Nutcracker when she was 8 years old.  Clara was her inspiration to become a ballerina.
She was so sweet to sign a pair of her ballet shoes for each of the girls to take home.
Emily was so excited she could go up on her toes in Sara's shoes!
It was good to see Sara again.  We'd gone to church together for a long time and we each get so busy with life to get time a chance to just catch up and talk.

Thanks Sara for the wonderful ballet memories and fun times for the girls!
