Ella's Dance Recital

Ella had her dance recital over the weekend, and it was one spectacular event. She looked so lovely dancing and did a wonderful job.  She definitely is my tiny dancer.  The majority of these pictures were taken after her dance rehearsal, and I love how each photograph showcases her colorful personality.  This girl is amazing!  These pics are unedited (as the majority of mine are) with the exception of cropping, as it is always fascinating to capture the story behind the natural imperfections.   

She truly is a natural beauty!

Citizenship Award

Each year, the different grades at Brock's school have an awards ceremony encompassing various awards for attendance, behavior, etc.  This year, Brock was awarded the Citizenship Award.  There is one student chosen out of each class for this particular award.  When all of the students that were granted this award were front and center during the ceremony, the principal announced that these are the people that go out of their way to help others, are kind, are leaders, and they are the type of friend that you want to have.  So proud of you, Brock!
