Lucia's Ballet Recital

So today was finally the day for Lucia's recital. I know some people were confused about the earlier post, but that was the rehearsal. Today was the real deal and Lucia had a lot of people in the audience cheering her on (Mommy, Papi, Aba, Abu, Abuela Leonor, and of course big brother Mateo). She did such a good job and we are very proud of her.




 Little Miss Lucia limbers up on the couch before the big day. She was very excited to get to wear "makeup" again




 Lucia, waiting on the steps of her performance hall...is she nervous?




 No way, not with the support from big bro...





 ...And BFF Alma




 Lucia, being the smallest of the bunch, got to lead the line out onto the stage




 Mini ballerinas at attention




 She was pooped after the show, but took some time to pose with pal Amelia




 I would say she had a roller coaster of emotions...ecstatic...




 ...sour puss...




 ...happy...




 ...indifferent



 Alma, didn't want to stay in the "itchy" dress for one minute longer so needless to say we were unable to get her after the show




 Big brothers, Lucas and Mateo were proud of their little sisters




 After the recital, Lucia was starving so we went to one of their favorite local restaurants, Robongi for some Miso soup and Teriyaki chicken lunch box




 Great-grandma, Abuela Leonor was very proud of Lucia




 Side note: Today Mateo also celebrated his special surprise for meeting his reading goal in school. Access to the Wii! He didn't know we had it and we got him the Skylanders game so he could finally play. He was completely psyched.




 After the recital and the lunch, Alma and Lucia just wanted to take a break and unwind, so they changed into their swimsuits and played in the sprinklers




 I think Lucia is happy





It was a long day, but well worth it..."you go girls!"
