A night at the ballet

Finally the big night arrived! The girls were quivering with anticipation and it all went off without a hitch. They did a fantastic job, looked gorgeous in their costumes and showed that they had learnt a lot more than I had anticipated. Well done girls! Who knew that daughters of mine could be so graceful!!
Lauren was a trooper throughout, despite being up two hours past her bedtime - full of smiles and lots of clapping. Many thanks to both sets of grandparents and Aunty Tricia for making the journey to watch the show and show their support - the girls were soooo excited to have them there.
